2019 Adriano Marco e Vittorio 'Basarin' Barbaresco
From: Langhe, Piedmont, ItalyVarietal: NebbioloTaste: The wine showcases a vivid garnet red color that evolves to a hint of orange as it ages. You'll find aromas of violet and rose hip on the nose, complemented by intoxicating notes of spices, licorice, jam, and a touch of powder. On the palate, it's dry and sophisticated with pleasing, smooth tannins, offering an elegant and muscular texture that reveals great complexity. Pairing: The Producers suggest these classic pairings: “Game is suggested to fully enjoy its purity: the classic pairing par excellence is civet of wild boar. Duck ragoût with tagliatelle? Would you like some cheese? Castelmagno and aged Grana Padano.” They also have an unusual pairing idea: “We invite you to try a licorice-infused steak with Tropea onions. Experiment and pair it instead with a dessert: a rose cake or a zabaglione al Barbaresco.” Dishes like braised rabbit, wild boar, or duck breast enhance the wine's depth and aromatic profile.
