Roberto Sarotto – Riserva 2013 – Barbaresco 

The nose is fruity, powerful, elegant, racy and offers a beautiful gourmandise, precision as well as richness. It reveals notes of blackberry, chocolate and small notes of small wild berries, blue fruits associated with discreet hints of nutmeg, sweet spices and flowers as well as a very discreet hint of Sichuan pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, a bit tight and offers a good definition, a beautiful juiciness, gourmandise, precision as well as a slight mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy raspberry and crushed ripe redcurrant associated with small / slight touches of blackberry, Zan, crushed blueberry, a hint of flowers as well as slight hints of almond, chocolate, caramelization (on the finish) and an imperceptible hint of undergrowth. Good length. A beautiful wine !
