Sottimano Cottá Barbaresco 2019

Dark spice, forest floor, rose and new leather aromas shape the nose along with a whiff of wild berry on this fragrant, radiant red. Tightly wound and linear, the focused palate offers red cherry, licorice and toasted nut alongside firm tannins and racy acidity. Austere and elegant, it needs time to fully develop. Drink date: 2029-2039. Cellar Selection. Score – 96. (Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 1, 2022)
