Fresh and lifted, the 2018 Barbaresco Basarin is forward with notes of dusty earth, anise, and dried apricot. The palate is medium-bodied and reveals notes of blood orange, dried raspberry, and tea leaf. Another finessed and approachable wine from the Adriano estate's 2018s, it can be enjoyed now or over the next 10-11 years. Drink 2021-2032.

Although dense and taut, this red evokes cherry and currant underneath the tobacco, iron and eucalyptus flavors. Intense and focused, showing good balance and length. Best from 2025 through 2040. 1,750 cases made, 500 cases imported.
