This 2016 Gaiun Martinenga Barbaresco, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, promises an intense aromatic experience. On the nose, expect classic Nebbiolo notes of dried roses, violets, and red cherries, evolving into more complex undertones of tar, licorice, and forest floor. The palate will be full-bodied with firm yet refined tannins, balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavors of red berry fruit, plum, and savory herbs will be present, leading to a long, persistent finish with hints of spice and mineral complexity. The 2016 vintage was excellent in Piedmont, suggesting a wine with great structure and potential for elegance.
