2022 Barbaresco, Demarie (Piedmont, Italy)

The wine at the end of the reunification story. Sourced from two carefully maintained parcels around the town of Neive, made in its own zone because the law requires it, from land Paolo spent decades buying back one piece at a time. Structured, precise, the clearest expression of what patience and stubbornness look like when they're poured into a glass, Delicate rose petals and red cherries with hints of warm spice and layers of red fruits
