Lean in appearance with light ruby transparency, the Cantina del Pino 2020 Barbaresco Albesani (with 3,000 bottles created) shows savory notes on the bouquet with fresh berry fruit enhanced by smoke, tar and dark licorice. The wine also offers a more pronounced mineral note that frames a core of sweet fruit. The wine's intensity and its overall depth is very nicely played in this vintage. The Albesani site has typical Sant'Agata marl soils of sedimentary and marine origin (complete with fossils).
