This gorgeous Barbaresco from the celebrated Bric Balin cru opens with natural heft and opulent layers of cherry, vanilla, wild berry, spice, old leather, chocolate and smoke. The wine’s consistency is on the dark, heavy side and the feeling it imparts on the palate is one of richness and smoothness. A Marc de Grazia selection; various American importers.

A beautiful wine that needs to age, this Basarin cru selection shows thick layers of berry fruit, cedar wood, almond and dark licorice. The oak element is strong, but the wine is still young and all its many elements will surely come into focus in 10 years or more.

Moccagatta’s expression from the Basarin cru will blow you away. This thickly extracted Barbaresco opens with a rich, dark appearance and opulent aromas of sweet spice, leather, toasted almond, vanilla and ripe cherry fruit. This is a big, masculine wine that would pair with pork medallions and caramelized onions. The finish is soft and slightly sweet. Keep it in your cellar 10 years or more. A Marc de Grazia selection; various American importers.

Basarin unveils super seductive aromas of mocha fudge, clove, toasted almond, sweet cherry and cured meat. There’s enormous depth and density here and the finish is thick and chewy. The wine lasts long on the palate and would pair perfectly with any truffle-based dish. A Marc de Grazia selection; various American importers.

Bric Balin offers the same creamy succulence of Moccagatta’s Cole Barbaresco, only here, you get added aromas of smoked bacon and cured meat. At the base is a solid foundation of lively fruit and chocolate-like nuances, and the wine ends with bold flavors and tight tannins. A Marc de Grazia selection; various American importers.

The wood on this wine is either permanently out of whack or just going through the ultimate awkward phase. Features big scents of burnt popcorn and earthy, charred flavors. Yet it finishes supple and long. Hmmm.
