Product Description
93 points in Wine Advocate -"Beautifully polished and tight, the 2013 Barbaresco Gaiun Martinenga impresses with its elegance and its seamless presentation of aromas. The wine glides over the palate with silky intensity, imparting flavors of cassis, dried cherry, forest bramble and white truffle along the way. This is a classic expression from the heart of the Barbaresco appellation."
