Reviewed November 2024The 2022 is a charming, elegant rendition of the vintage expressing raspberry and strawberry with snaps of coriander and allspice. Seamless in flow, the palate is underscored by sweet acid and framed by soft, silky tannins. Juicy and drinkable now but with enough grip for the next seven to eight years. A blend of the estate’s parcels in the distinguished MGAs of Rabajà, Rabajà-bas and Faset, Castello di Verduno’s classic Barbaresco ages in large Slavonian oak casks. (MM)

Vinous
The 2022 Barbaresco is a gracious, classy wine that captures the essence of the house style. Crushed flowers, sweet, red-toned fruit, orange peel, spice and rose petals are some of the notes that grace this understated, sensual Barbaresco. Soft tannins add to a feeling of approachability. What a pretty and engaging wine this is. (AG)

Pouring a bright medium ruby hue, the 2022 Barbaresco opens to notes of ripe cranberries, cinnamon, orange peel, and fresh flowers. The palate retains very nice freshness in this hot, dry vintage, with refreshing acidity, ripe tannins, and a clean, medium-bodied feel with a graceful and fruity finish. It’s a highly charming offering to drink over the coming 6-8 years. (AF)
Notes
Castello di Verduno’s 2022 Barbaresco DOCG brings together Nebbiolo from Faset and Rabajà-Bas, the two vineyard sources identified by the estate for this bottling. The Burlotto and Bianco families have vineyards and cellars in both Barbaresco and Verduno. The wines are made in Barbaresco, then bottled and stored in Verduno. The estate describes large oak casks as central to its approach to Nebbiolo. Importer Oliver McCrum suggests risotto, grilled pork tenderloin or braised meats for the Barbaresco.
