Piedmont (Neive)
Borgese Barbaresco 2006
Varietal: 100% Nebbiolo
Alcohol: 14%
Tasting notes: This wine is garnet red in the glass and has a nose that is harmonious and balanced that reveals fruity aromas with delicate spices and flower undertones. On the palate this wine is full-bodied and elegant with round, textured tannins.
Review: “The 2006 Barbaresco Borgese offers up flowers, red cherries, menthol, spices and French oak on a mid-weight frame. This is a very pretty, harmonious wine from Piero Busso that should drink well upon release. Borgese is a sub-plot of the Albesani vineyard in Neive. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018.” 90 points (Antonio Galloni, http://www.erobertparker.com, Oct. 2009)
