Barbaresco, Albesani Borghese, 2021

Ripe and expressive and immediately enticing – sweetly fruited, succulent and complex, with a high-toned, detailed feel – likely the best we’ve ever tasted here. Vigna Borghese is a sub-plot in front of the Busso cellar, home to the estate’s oldest vines, averaging fifty years old. A southwest facing vineyard at 280 metres elevation planted on sandy white limestone soils. Aged in 25 hl casks for 24-26 months.
