Fontanabianca 2020 Barbaresco

The 2020 Barbaresco slowly reveals delicate fruit with finely tuned aromas of wild cherry, tar, rose and pencil shaving. That darker mineral note gives this vintage a deeper, more baritone quality. But Nebbiolo's characteristic brightness shines through. The 2020 tannins are more immediate overall, and the wine's mouthfeel is slender and firm.

93pts James Suckling
Aromas of dried cherries with crushed flowers, red spices and orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with velvety tannins with some chewiness to it. Textured and polished with a vivid red fruit character. Crunchy finish.

91pts Wine Spectator
A taut, focused red, bright and loaded with cherry, strawberry, rose and eucalyptus flavors. Reveals mineral and tobacco accents as this evolves on the palate. Balanced, with powdery tannins lining the finish. Best from 2026 through 2042. 3,000 cases made, 600 cases imported.
