I couldn't agree more with other reviewers comparing this wine to a Barolo. However, the acidity will not make it enjoyed by everyone...which is to expected with any fine old-world wine. Did not require much decanting (30 minutes will do). Tasted February 2016.

First time to try a Barbaresco and I was utterly impressed. It matched so well with food and also great to sip on its own. Medium body. Decant well before drinking. I opened the bottle 90 minutes before drinking. Tasted February & October 2015.
