A little bigger than the Ovello. Decant. Nice florals and Ripe bing cherry with tannins that carry to the finish. TBL

The 2016 Barbaresco Albesani is the most reticent wine in this range. I have seen that before with this wine, only to see it blossom with a few years in bottle. Powerful and tightly wound, the Albesani is a Barbaresco to cellar for at least a few years. At this stage, it is all acid, tannin and brawn. Super-classic in the best sense of the term, the 2016 really only starts to blossom with about 24 hours of air! All of the classic Albesani breadth and inner sweetness is there, it just needs time to reveal itself. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2020)

Tons of potential but way too young even with a 4 hour decant.

My husband, and 23 yo daughter and I really enjoyed this wine. We had it with venison and it paired really well!
