Country: Italy /
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Cascina Saria / Barbaresco
Cascina Saria is a relatively new producer in the Langhe, although the family has been growing grapes for generations. This Barbaresco shows tart aromas of berry fruit and white cherry, but it also offers accents of red apple, spice, wet earth and smoked bacon. There’s more heft and consistency in the mouth, and the fruit flavors show the thick and chewy qualities of a hot vintage.
