This ‘Rossignoux’ Sauvignon Blanc was aged for a year in barrel and then allowed to interact with a layer of flor—quite the unusual path for the varietal

Cascina delle Rose Barbaresco "Marcorino" 2021 Style:Red with blueberryFrom two parcels planted on clay, sandstone, and chalk, one planted in 1944, the other in 1996. 30 day maceration followed by 22 months in large Slavonian oak. No filtration and low sulfur. Focused, concentrated black cherry, black tea, and a detailed, chalky finish. This is the most approachable Barbaresco in our collection now, but it will easily age for a decade or two. Jonathan Kemp
