Rivetto – Marcarini 2015 – Barbaresco 

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers a small gourmandise, a slight richness, a good fineness of the grain as well as a very slight power (in the background). It reveals notes of blackberry, wild black fruits and small notes of small elderberries, black cherry associated with small touches of small red berries as well as discreet hints of grove, blond tobacco, cardamone, Zan and spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, a bit tight, tannic and offers suavity, a small acidulous frame, fleshiness as well as a small freshness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, small ripe crushed red berries and small notes of blue fruits, elderberries associated with small touches of sweet spices, blond tobacco and cardamom. Tannins are very fine, tight, firm and a bit dry. There is a hint of caramelization on the persistence.
