Mario Giribaldi Barbaresco DOCG, Piedmont, Italy 2006

Description

Produced in the hills of Barbaresco, the 2006 Mario Giribaldi Barbaresco reflects a structured and age worthy vintage for Nebbiolo. The growing season delivered firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and the framework necessary for extended evolution.

The bouquet shows dried cherry, rose petal, and red currant layered with tar, leather, and subtle spice. With maturity, tertiary notes of forest floor, dried herbs, and earthy nuance have emerged. The palate is medium to full bodied, defined by resolved yet still present tannins and a persistent acid spine that preserves lift.

The finish is long and savory, marked by red fruit, mineral tension, and faint balsamic tones. A mature and classical expression of Nebbiolo from Italy, demonstrating structure and graceful development after nearly two decades in bottle.
