Castello di Verduno
Barbaresco, 2018
justerini & brooks tasting note
Very open and aromatic, lots of floral red fruit notes of raspberry and wild strawberry. Engaging, pretty and crisp, light in structure but with a little grip and a wonderful brightness. A blend of wine from the Rabaja and Faset vineyards. Aged for a little less time than the Crus, 18 months in large old Slavonian oak casks.

The 2018 Barbaresco from Castello di Verduno is a very pretty, gracious wine with effusive aromatics, bright fruit and mid-weight structure. In other words, classic Barbaresco. Time in the glass brings out hints of sweet tobacco, mint, cedar and dried red cherry. The 2018 is such a gorgeous wine. Drink it over the next decade.
