The Luca Bosio 2018 Barbaresco is full of dark and ripe fruit, with dried cherry, licorice, tar and earthy tones. This vintage shows surprising ripeness and even a point of sweetness. This makes for a more streamlined and simple Barbaresco overall.

The Luca Bosio 2017 Barbaresco is an expressive red wine that shows a full chorus of aromas, ranging from black fruit to crushed limestone and spicy sweet oak. The wine is fermented in steel vats and ages in botte. It offers a 360-degree approach to Nebbiolo and focuses on the broad brushstrokes, more than it does the tiny details. Those sweeping aromas represent a common trait in wines from this hot and dry vintage.

The 2011 Barbaresco is nice and spicy, full of expressive, opulent fruit delivered over a mid-weight approach. This hot vintage is good for near-term drinking.
