This is an eminently drinkable Barbaresco on release, with the modern practice of lightly extracting from skins and a quick, cool-temperature fermentation that preserves a lot of primary beauty of the Nebbiolo grown here. Purity of the fruit is maintained in its aging in traditional, large Slavonian oak barrels for 2 years.
JAMES SUCKLING 94 POINTS - "Notes of potpourri, cinnamon, sweet violets, complex layered fruit, crisp acidity and focused cherry pit minerality. Velvety, slightly dusty tannins with licorice in the finish. Essentially ready to drink, but will improve with aging."
"Autinbej evokes a bygone era when such wines were the union of Nebbiolo grapes from the best, sunniest parts of different crus. Autinbej is a tribute to Giulio Grasso’s late father, Ernesto, who often used the Piemontese word to describe the best vineyard exposures. "
