2016 | Nada Fiorenzo | Barbaresco Rombone

The 2016 Barbaresco Rombone is the most finessed Rombone I have tasted in twenty years of visiting the property. A reduction of time in barrique in favor of cask seems to release the wine's aromatic intensity while giving a more elegant, mid-weight Rombone with less overt unctuousness and much more Nebbiolo character. Kirsch, blood orange, mint, chalk and sage are some of the many notes that inform this utterly beguiling, alluring Barbaresco. In short, this is what Treiso is all about.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: This is pure and alluring for its aromas of rose, strawberry and cherry, with eucalyptus and earth notes chiming in as this tightens up on the compact finish. The lasting impression is ripe fruit, so be patient.

Producer Information

The story of Nada Fiorenzo is a great love story between a courageous family and a plot of land in a fantastic location: the Rombone vineyard. It began in the late 1950s when Fiorenzo inherited from his father a portion of the family vineyards whose grapes he used to sell. Th e story turned into a magnifi cent adventure in 1982, when Fiorenzo’s son Bruno began making wine from his father’s grapes with only one aim in mind: quality. It was a bold choice but a fortunate one, based on total confi ence in the soil of the Rombone vineyard. It was thus that not only Langhe Nebbiolos, Barbarescos, Dolcettos and Barbera d’Albas, but also Seifi le and Barbaresco Rombone came into being, the latter two classics that stand out among the great creations of contemporary winemaking. Bruno subsequently enlarged the small vineyard, and fi rst Barbaresco Manzola, then, more recently, Barbaresco Montaribaldi were born.
