The 2018 Barbaresco Chiaramanti is a soft, fruity wine to drink now and over the next decade. Succulent red cherry, red plum, cedar, spice and rose petal all meld together as this sensual inviting Barbaresco reveals its charms. All the elements are so nicely balanced.

Romano Marengo's Ca' Rome' 2018 Barbaresco Chiaramanti reveals a textured and soft approach with some ripe fruit and blackberry backed by spice and tarry smoke. The thick fiber of this mid-weight wine cedes to integrated tannins and rich fruit concentration.

A dense, tightly wound style, with burly tannins underlying cherry, plum, earth and eucalyptus flavors. Balanced on the tannic side, with a lightly astringent finish. Best from 2024 through 2036. 150 cases imported.
