The 2019 Rosanna Sandri Damasco Barbaresco is a refined and elegant expression of Nebbiolo. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of rose petals, violet, dried cherry, raspberry compote, and blood orange peel, complemented by hints of star anise, crushed limestone, and sweet pipe tobacco. With a bit of air, deeper notes emerge, including cedar, damp forest floor, tea leaf, and faint tar, showcasing the classic Barbaresco character.
On the palate, the wine is precise and graceful, with a silky entry that gives way to finely structured, polished tannins. Flavors of red currant, wild strawberry, pomegranate, bergamot, and a touch of savory herbs unfold in layers, all framed by vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. The wine maintains a bright, energetic lift throughout, keeping the fruit and spice in perfect balance.
The finish is long and resonant, echoing notes of cherry skin, dried flowers, subtle spice, and earthy nuances. This is a beautifully expressive Barbaresco that combines finesse, complexity, and age-worthy structure, offering immediate pleasure while also rewarding patience in the cellar.
