The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry, plum and raspberry
followed by aromas of violet, vanilla, tobacco, licorice, cinnamon, cocoa,
mace and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic
attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full body,
intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, plum and
raspberry. Barbaresco Vigna Borgese ages for 24 months in cask followed by
6 months of aging in bottle.
