Tasting Notes: From Tre Donne, the famous “Three Sisters” winery, comes this remarkable Barbaresco that is both powerful and impossibly restrained. Its aromas bloom with black tea, bright cranberry, potpourri, and sweet, earthy mushrooms. It is young, but pleasingly approachable in the next few years. This gem will age for 25+ years, and is on the wish-list of those who appreciate world-class Nebbiolo.
