2016 Rocche dei Barbari Alivio Barbaresco Riserva DOCG

Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco DOCG Rosso
 
Red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo. This is above average in popularity for Barbaresco wines. This wine has been becoming increasingly popular over the past year.
 
Fascinating is the experience of tasting different vintages of Alivio, feeling the expansion of the senses, and discovering how the art of time transforms colors and fragrances in emotions.
 
Alivio is unique as a wine, and expresses its unicity in a different manner, each single year.
And then, every vintage mutates over time in an unrepeatable way, elevating the wine contained in every bottle to the status of a unique distinctive creation, that can be savoured today or at decades and decades from now.

Deep garnet, copper shines and golden nuances. Every Alivio Riserva, has developed beyond 5 years in the cellars before bottling. Extraordinary complex and elegant. Manifests the essence of evolution with exquisite and fragrant freshness.

One of Piedmont's greatest wine regions, Barbaresco rarely gets mentioned without a reference to its neighbor Barolo. Both are among the best expressions of the Nebbiolo grape and where Barolo can be austere and tannic, Barbaresco can be its warmer, more approachable counterpoint.
