MARIO GIRIBALDI BARBARESCO 1.5L 2006 1500 ml

Description

From the rolling hills of Piedmont, Italy, the Mario Giribaldi Barbaresco 2006 arrives in a generous 1.5-liter magnum, perfect for gatherings where good company meets exceptional red wine. At 14% ABV, this dry red delivers a presence that's both approachable and profound, inviting you to linger over every pour.

Catch the deep ruby red shade, edged with a faint garnet shimmer that hints at its character right from the glass. Inhale deeply, and a wave of wild rose blooms alongside sweet thyme whispers, mingling with tobacco leaf, liquorice twists, ripe raspberry bursts, cherry essence, and an earthy mineral thread weaving through it all.

Sip into a medium-plus body where soft, rounded tannins at medium-plus strength embrace flavors of ripe cherries and juicy plums. Subtle layers unfold—violets brushing past, leather's supple touch, licorice lingering softly, and those mineral notes grounding the finish. It's a wine that unfolds with balance, drawing you back for more.

Bring it to the table with roasted poultry, grilled red meats, pasta slicked in rich red sauce, or a spread of charcuterie. Each bite amplifies the wine's nuances, turning a simple meal into a memorable feast shared among friends or family.

The Wine Advocate captures its allure: "This wine offers an unusual bouquet of candied cherry and cola aromas that are distinct to this wine. There is a savory side to the wine, with cedar and baking clove, its center of gravity defers to that candied cherry or creme de cassis characteristic." Sourced from Barbaresco in Piedmont, Italy, this 2006 expression stands as a testament to regional depth.

Picture uncorking this magnum for a cozy dinner or lively celebration—the oversized bottle promises plenty to go around, each glass revealing fresh dimensions as the evening progresses. Whether you're exploring Piedmont reds or seeking a standout Barbaresco, this Mario Giribaldi selection rewards patience and curiosity, making it a worthy addition to your collection or next occasion.
