The 2013 Barbaresco Garassino is an easy and nicely delineated expression of Nebbiolo from the smallish Garassino cru in Treiso. This well-priced Barbaresco shows an elegant style with dark nuances of dried cherry and wild berry. Tar, spice and cured tobacco give the wine a more complete sense of volume and power. It ages in oak for 12 months and six months in bottle before it is released.
