The 2017 Barbaresco Rio Sordo Riserva is a medium body wine with intense mineral and spicy aromas, balanced ripe tannins and a long, elegant finish.
Try with pasta dishes, risotto and white and red meat.
Monica Larner writes: The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo (with 10,000 bottles released) has a mineral character and a sleek, firm approach that gives this wine its special identity. The wine is polished, almost glossy in texture with blackcurrant, plum and wild rose, and the tannins are gripping, although the Rio Sordo sports a lean to medium-rich density overall. -- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 95 Points
Wine Spectator: "Delivers depth and velvety texture, which are a perfect foil for the saturated cherry and raspberry fruit flavors. Underlined by mineral and spice notes, this is harmonious and long, with a mineral aftertaste. Feels approachable now, but this has structure and will age beautifully." 95 Points
