Aromas burst forth with a medley of freshly milled sweet, picante, and savory spices, creating an enticing bouquet. Warmed roses mingle with the freshness of raspberries, accented by hints of wild herbs. The nose is so aromatic that one might get lost before even taking a sip. On the palate, this wine is generous and inviting, with notes of tart cherries and fresh currants dancing across the tongue. Subtle hints of tea and earth add complexity to the finish, which is framed by elegant and fine tannins. — Jeff Porter

(91+ points) The medium ruby 2021 Barbaresco Cavanna is giving, with pretty floral notes of fresh roses, wild strawberries, and fresh tarragon. Medium-bodied, it’s lean on the palate but has bright acidity and good structure, with notes of orange pith through the finish. This is another winner with a lot of immediate appeal.
