The 2021 Barbaresco Basarin is a dense, rich wine. Macerated cherry, plum, lavender, rose petals, spice and new leather are all dialed up. The natural intensity of the year comes through in this decidedly dark, intense Barbaresco. A return to super-classic winemaking balances things out nicely though. I expect the Basarin to be the most approachable of these 2021s.
