Cascina Baricchi Barbaresco Riserva Rose delle Casasse•2017

From the first swirl, Cascina Baricchi’s 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Rose delle Casasse shows a deep, brooding core of dark cherry and black raspberry lifted by scents of violet, sweet herbs and exotic spice. The palate is dense and tightly coiled yet already hints at layered richness, with saturated red-purple fruit, licorice, and a subtle balsamic edge wrapped in firm, youthful tannins. It’s a striking, sensual Barbaresco that feels reserved today but clearly built for a long and impressive evolution in bottle.
