Castello di Verduno Barbaresco 2020
Description
Tight, tannic, young and primary, this has subtle aromas of red berry, forest floor and leather. The firm, racy palate offers unripe cherry, white pepper and a hint crushed herb set against a backbone of fine-grained tannins and bright acidity.
Bright, poised and full of energy, model of classicism in Barbaresco. Vibrant acids lift a core of red berry fruit, kirsch, white flowers, mint and chalk. Medium in weight and beautifully delineated, the 2020 is utterly sublime. Time in the glass brings out gorgeous inner sweetness.
Located in the rolling hills of Piedmont, Castello di Verduno has vines in top vineyards in both Barolo and Barbaresco. It’s been family-run for generations, but the Bianco’s welcomed winemaker Mario Andrion to the estate in 2000. His approach to winemaking is firmly traditional: organic farming, indigenous yeast fermentation, and minimal SO2 — exactly the kind of wines we want to drink. The trend toward “modern” Barolo and Barbaresco has left Castello di Verduno out of the spotlight, but we want to give them the attention they deserve.
