    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Elio Altare, Barbera, Larigi Langhe, 2004

    A 60 year old single vineyard Barbera cuvee aged in 100 percent new oak. About as scintillating and sophisticated as Barbera gets. The 100% new oak has clearly acted as nothing more than a vessel to add polish to this beautiful wine, which absolutely resonates with juicy crushed fruit flavours of redcurrants, blackberries, cranberries with complex shades of salts, herb, spice and saddle leather. Perfectly poised and truly mouth-watering.

    The 2021 Larigi is classy, elegant and super-polished. Silky tannins wrap around a core of red cherry/plum fruit. Spice, new leather, cedar and blood orange all meld together. The 2021 is one of the more refined, medium-bodied Larigis I have tasted here. The purity of the fruit is compelling.
