Truffle Hunter Leda Barbaresco DOCG Bosio Winery - 1354, 2016

The Bosio family cultivate more than 200 hectares of their own vineyards and source grapes from neighbouring growers. The Nebbiolo for this Barbaresco came from vineyards in Neive and Barbaresco, planted at 200 to 300 metres on clay calcareous soils. Typically light in colour, it has aromas of redcurrants, wood and a subtle hint of green leaf. It is a supple wine, medium bodied with fine texture and more flavours of redcurrants, cranberries, bitter cherries and a long chocolate finish on the palate. Truffle Hunter Leda Barbaresco is a wine with good intensity and depth produced from a well-structured vintage which merits keeping. After vinification in tank, the wine was matured for 24 months in oak barrels.
