Generally more feminine and elegant than Barolo, Barbaresco has a greater suppleness,
softer fruit, and a more obvious charm, although some producers overlap the weightier Barolo style. Produced from Italy’s greatest indigenous grape variety, Nebbiolo, these wines must be aged for a minimum of two years, one of which must be in oak or chestnut casks.
5–20 years
