    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Clear as a whistle, clean crisp ripe strawberry characteristics. As ripe and alluring as this, the red berry and floral rose petal notes lift the on the palate. This shimmers with a jewel-like brightness adding vibrancy and intensity to the sun kissed fruit. Ripe, perfumed, salt-flecked and with nicely integrated tannins providing edge and definition. An absolute gem. A Barbaresco vineyard from the Treiso commune that sits 290 metres above sea level. The south south-west aspect ensures great sun exposure whilst the high limestone content in the soils yield structured but balanced and well-defined wines. Aged for 18 months in large old wooden cask.

    Susan Hulme,

    The 2018 Figli Luigi Oddero Barbaresco Rambone has a distinctive red fruit nose, but with savory, iron, iodine and medicinal notes. It has a fantastic silkiness of texture, neither heavy nor over-rich and this is balanced by a vibrant layer of bright, salty, savory tannins and super-clean fruit. It is elegant and refined. Wait two to three years and drink for 20 years.
