See my introduction to this tasting of 2008 Barbarescos and 2006 Riservas, Barbaresco catches up, and Nebbiolo week – a guide for links to all the articles.

Within each commune, the wines are listed in the order they were presented (by vineyard).

2008 BARBARESCO


BLENDS FROM MORE THAN ONE COMMUNE

Cantina Sociale dei Produttori del Barbaresco 2008 Barbaresco 16 Drink 2012-17
Barbaresco-Neive. Palish ruby. Very sweet, almost jammy. Intense red fruit palate matches this. Rich finish almost absorbing the drying tannin. Youthful and still in the grip of oak, especially on the finish. (WS)
