The result is a Barbaresco with a decisive yet refined body, capable of combining power and balance in a deep and lasting taste profile.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2015 vintage is remembered for favorable climatic conditions that allowed the Nebbiolo grapes to reach perfect ripeness.
