Fontanabianca's 2021 Barbaresco showcases the elegance of Nebbiolo from the Piedmont region. This family-owned estate cultivates vines on calcareous marl soils, imparting finesse and complexity. The 2021 vintage, with its warm days and cool nights, yielded beautifully balanced grapes. Aromas of rose petals, red cherry, and hints of spice precede a palate with refined tannins and vibrant acidity, revealing tangy cherry and dried herbal notes. Flavors of raspberry, licorice, and earthy undertones lead to a lingering finish. Pair with roasted veal, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses for a classic Italian dining experience.

Smooth and delicious, the elegant palate reveals raspberry compote wild cherry star anise and blood orange alongside lithe, polished tannins and bright acidity. A beautiful wine..." 04/24

92 Points, Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck: "Coming from Neive, the 2021 Barbaresco takes a medium ruby hue and reveals aromas of fresh cranberries, clove, dried orange, roses, and anise. Medium-bodied, elegant, and weightless, with fine tannins and even acidity, it’s approachable and open now and is going to show its best over the next 5-6 years. It’s a very pretty and charming wine with good value..." 05/24

The Fontanabianca 2021 Barbaresco delivers sharp, pinpoint focus with cherry and cassis over a medium-plus mouthfeel. The fruit takes center stage, but the wine also unfolds slowly over time to showcase crushed stone, dried herbs and pressed violet..." 01/30/25
