Piero Busso Barbaresco Mondino 2012

Bright and giving, with the kind of easy generosity that makes Barbaresco approachable without sacrificing character. Sweet red cherry and ripe plum lead, threaded through with iron, white pepper and dried flowers, a high-toned, aromatic lift that's distinctly Mondino. The texture is supple and round, with enough freshness to keep things lively through a medium finish. Drink over the next few years.
