Silvio Giamello 'Vicenziana', Barbaresco DOCG, Italy 2019 Chateau Haura melon and citrus notesThe Vicenziana is a very serious Barbaresco. No mistaking it for anything else, this is the real thing. Tar, roses, black truffle and menthol on the big nose. Powerful attack and and expansive mid palate with ripe red and black fruit, firm but generous tannins and striking mineral purity. Another great value and a steal at this price. Silvio likes to open older bottles at the end of a tasting and it's pretty obvious that these age remarkably well.
