Ca’Rome Romano Marengo Maria di Brün Barbaresco 2018

Aromas of dried strawberries and black cherries with orange peel, nut shell and red flowers. Some cloves and licorice, too. Full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins at the start before becoming more refined and chalky at the end. Vivid acidity gives freshness to the red fruits. Dry and lingering finish with hints of crushed stones. Drink from 2025 [until 2033+]. Score – 95. (jamessuckling.com, Jan. 5, 2023)
