95 points Jeb Dunnuck"There is a more pronounced mineral and delicately spiced character to the 2019 Barbaresco, with notes of wet asphalt and kirsch and vibrant purity. It has elegant concentration, with fine coiled tannins in its hints of tea leaves,...

94 points Falstaff"Vigorous ruby red with purple edges. On the nose fragrance of cherries, blackberries, savoury notes in the echo. On the palate powerful with vivid acidity, fine-meshed, still youthful tannins, fruity finish, nice length." 93 points...

95 points Wine Enthusiast"Camphor, rose, brown spice and wild herb aromas mingle with an earthy whiff of new leather. Round and juicy, the savory palate doles out raspberry compote, ripe Morello cherry, star anise and cinnamon alongside polished tannins...

93 points James Suckling“Some savory aromas here with warm stones, iron, coal smoke and darker cherry notes. The palate is concentrated and carries sweetly spiced black-cherry and plum flavors in attractively juicy form. Drink or hold...

Jancis Robinson"Full bottle 1,264 g. Fermented and aged in stainless steel.It seems to me that varietal, unoaked Corvino is a wildly under-appreciated thing. If you love cherries, and cloves, and kicking autumn leaves and Turkish delight, the fragrance...

Jancis Robinson"80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Bianco. Disgorged November 2017.Beautifully mineral with an almost saline waxy fruit nose. Waxy fruit on the palate. Still very tight and a little closed. Mouth-watering and long and with energetic, waxy lemon...

97 points Decanter"Baricci shines with this stunning 2019, from the estate’s south- to southeast-facing plots at 300 metres on the Montosoli hill. It is still far too young, but everything is in place for a long and gratifying life. Preliminary...
