2011 Luigi Giordano Barbaresco Cavanna

Cavanna is the vineyard name on the river steep slope very different from the gold coast. A good bit of fresh earth, truffle like notes on the nose, dried flowers, insence, spices very complex bouquet red cherry fruit. A very pure style of Barbaresco with lots of juicy cherry berry fruit tangy acidity and an array of spices, truffle, red licorice and a long tannic finish but a bit smoother than the 2010 but has just as much nuance, has lovely balance this wine needs an osso bucco with truffle risotto, this wine exudes the pure essence of the Piemdont. Finish 50+ Excellent +
