Barbaresco, Albesani-Borghese, 2022

A deeper Albesani that offers sumptuous notes of strawberries and dark cherries, with supporting hints of graphite and dried herbs. Broader and more curvaceous on the palate with pliant tannins, it will drink on the earlier side. 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.
