Barbaresco 2016 San Cristoforo Elio Filippino
Barbaresco 2016 'San Cristoforo', produced by Piedmont winery Elio Filippino, is made from Nebbiolo grapes that are hand-picked and carefully selected. The must ferments in large wooden barrels at a controlled temperature. The wine then matures for a total of 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. In the glass, Elio Filippino's San Cristoforo Barbaresco DOCG shines in a strong garnet red with orange highlights. The nose reveals expressive aromas of ripe raspberries and juicy grapes - accompanied by fine notes of dark chocolate and liquorice. On the palate, this Italian wine presents itself with impressive elegance, which is supported by a powerful body. The tannins are perfectly integrated and accompany the long finish.
