Tasting Notes
The Barbaresco DOCG Fletcher 2021 displays a bright garnet red color. The nose reveals a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, dried rose petals, and sweet spices, complemented by hints of tobacco and leather. On the palate, it is elegant and structured, with velvety tannins and vibrant freshness perfectly balancing the wine’s body. The finish is long and persistent, with a delicate minerality that reflects the Langhe hills.

This Barbaresco is the ideal companion for red meat dishes, roasts, game, and aged cheeses. It pairs beautifully with Piedmontese classics such as braised beef in Barolo, truffle risotto, or tajarin with game ragù. Its complexity also makes it perfect for moments of meditation or to accompany important dinners.
