Cascina Vano - 'Riserva' - Nebbiolo - Barbaresco, Piemonte, IT - 2016

@cascinavanoNotes from the Winery/ImporterThis wine presents a striking contrast to the Canova, with broader shoulders, a darker, more balsamic profile, and an impressive sense of stature. Intensely fragrant and undeniably seductive, it unfolds on the palate with a deep balsamic character, seamlessly intertwined with bright lift, aromatic intensity, and a crystalline purity at its core. Its structure is formidable yet balanced, supported by well-integrated tannins that reinforce its classic Barbaresco identity. As it evolves in the glass, the complexity deepens, reverberating across the palate. Notes of sour cherry, dried strawberries, orange peel, and rose hip intertwine with layers of essential oils, cedarwood, sandalwood, clove, and a whisper of incense—an ever-shifting, multifaceted expression of Nebbiolo. The ethereal quality builds gradually, leading to a long, vibrant finish that hints at exceptional aging potential.Notes on the ProducerA love for our landcarried on from genera
