Barale 2019 Barbaresco "Serraboella" 750ml

Just bottled, the 2019 Barbaresco Serraboella is gracious and nicely lifted. The understated side of Nebbiolo comes through in a mid-weight, ethereal wine that is all class. The 2019 is not a blockbuster, but rather a Barbaresco that is more finesse than power. Sweet tobacco, cedar, mint, dried flowers and herbs lend lovely savory presence.
