Barbaresco: Northern Italian Beauties
Barbarescos
are from Northern Italy, elegant, very
expensive, and almost always worth it
There are two great red wines
made in Northern Italy, just to the southwest of Milan—Barolo and Barbaresco. Barolo is the
more muscular wine, and Barbaresco the more elegant, fragrant wine. Both are
made from 100% nebbiolo, all grown on hillsides. In the region, 2004 has turned
out to be a great vintage, so if anyone can find the following wines in that
vintage, they are probably even better than 2005, which has turned out to be a
much better vintage than initially believed prior to the harvest. Because of
the limited production numbers of these wines, they are never cheap, as the
demand even in dismal world economic conditions remains elevated. These tasting
notes come from my brilliant colleague on Italian wines, Antonio Galloni.
91 points 2005 Piero Busso Barbaresco Borgese
The 2005 Barbaresco Borgese
flows onto the palate with generous candied cherries, menthol, pine, and
spices. This mid-weight Barbaresco shows a level of clarity and transparency
that I don't recall seeing here in the past. There is outstanding depth, with
well-integrated tannins and a long, refreshing finish. This is a terrific
showing from Piero Busso. Anticipated maturity: 2009-19. $45

John Szabo's review in the WineAccess Buyer's Guide
90 POINTS:
Piero Busso 2004 Barbaresco Santo Stefanetto Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy
Quite intense and aromatic, perfumed, with a little volatile-floral component
and red fruit. The palate is bone dry, highly tannic and mouth-puckering. Not
showing well today, this is a style of wine that needs another 3 to 5 years
to be approaching drinkability. It certainly has the density and
concentration to improve over time.
