2020 Barbaresco

Elvio Tintero

Discount Eligible $36.00
AT CART MAX

If you’ve searched for—and found—incredible Italian values in our shop, chances are you have drunk one of Marco Tintero’s creations. Marco—the bon vivant pictured on this month’s cover—excels in the “weeknight” category with his festive whites, reds, and rosato, but he also exhibits mastery of Piemonte’s more prestigious appellations. This release marks a breakthrough for his Barbaresco, a wine he produces in tiny batches each year from the famous crus Balluri and Bricco di Neive. It is a Barbaresco you can dig into right away, full of sumptuous dark berry fruit with spicy hints of clove and a strikingly elegant finish. No cellaring necessary, but a good decant will go a long way.

Old wine bottles

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
