“This impressive wine opens to warm notes of dried cherry with camphor ash, licorice stick and balsam herb. The 2015 Barbaresco Martinenga is an articulate and complex wine that unveils new aromas with each swirl of the glass. It shows firmness and tightness at the core, a good indication of the wine’s aging potential. However, what stands out most at this point in the wine’s life is the ethereal and graceful nature of the bouquet. The wine is already open and generous and yet promises much more to come.” – Wine Advocate, 94 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Nebbiolo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6253,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
