Barbera, Larigi Langhe, 2023
justerini & brooks tasting note
Production has dropped from 3000 bottles down to a miniscule 900 bottles per year. A stunning 70-year-old, south-facing Barbera parcel sitting at the top of the Arborina vineyard. Fermented and aged in 100% new oak barrique for 18 months.
critic reviews
94/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
The 2023 Larigi is a very sexy wine. Pliant contours wrap around a core of dark red cherry/plum fruit, spice, rose petal, mint and espresso. Hints of blood orange and pomegranate lend notable brightness. The 2023 is a mid-weight Larigi. Its balance is exquisite.
