KL Wines writes: Marco makes small batches of a radically inexpensive Barbaresco. The fruit comes from the Balluri cru in Neive, and Marco gives it the all-traditional treatment—two years in large, neutral oak, no fining or filtration—to preserve Barbaresco’s best attributes: delicate floral overtones, baked-asphalt minerality, and a caressing elegance on the palate from start to finish.
