| "Some years ago, my dear friend and mentor Il Professore told me about an estate in Barbaresco I should visit. I did, and there I met Natale Simonetta, a former professional athlete who turned to winemaking after injuries forced him to retire from sport. Cascina Baricchi lies in Neviglie, which is actually in Moscato country. Although the winery is outside the Barbaresco appellation, the vineyards are in Neive and Treiso. Perhaps this unique set of circumstances explains why Cascina Baricchi remains under the radar. Natale Simonetta spent the early part of his new career working alongside Bruno Giacosa. From what I have been able to put together from several reliable sources, Simonetta sold Giacosa fruit and also bulk wine, including the parcel Giacosa bottled as a Red Label Barbaresco with no vineyard name in 1990. Today, Simonetta and his wife, Francesca, make a wide range of wines .... The flagships are the Barbarescos. His Barbaresco Riserva Rose delle Casasse is made from 100% Rosè clone, which is seldom seen alone in Piedmont today. Rose delle Casasse is the only pure Rosè clone Barbaresco I know of."

It emerges from a tiny parcel in Neive first planted in 1913 with the Rosè clone of Nebbiolo known for its aromatic intensity, that is rarely seen these days. Deeply bright and perfumed, the 2015 offers up an exotic mélange of sweet red cherry, blood orange, mint, spice, rose petal and kirsch. There's terrific depth and plenty of substance to wrap it all together. The 2015 spent four years in wood, a combination of small barrels and medium-sized casks .... The 2015 is an exquisite wine and a Barbaresco of real character."
