Cantine Elvio Tintero Barbaresco 2021
Vintage and Region
2021 — Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy
Grape and Style
100% Nebbiolo — classic Barbaresco: medium to full-bodied, structured, ageworthy.
Appearance
Clear, garnet with a slight ruby rim; medium to high intensity.
Aroma
Lifted aromatics of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, layered with dried rose petal, tar, and subtle violet. Secondary notes of leather, baking spice, and forest floor emerge with a little air.
Palate
Dry, focused, and elegantly tannic. Bright red-fruit core (sour cherry, cranberry) balanced by savory elements—dried herbs, anise, and earthy minerality. Acidity is lively, giving drive and freshness. Tannins are present and structured but fine-grained for the vintage, promising further integration with bottle age.
Finish
Medium-plus length with persistent red fruit, gentle spice, and a dry, slightly savory finish.
Food Pairing
Excellent with truffle pasta, braised beef, roasted lamb, aged cheeses (Pecorino, Parmigiano-Reggiano), hearty mushroom dishes, and richer charcuterie. Also pairs well with our house-made sandwiches featuring roast beef and fig jam or a charcuterie box with aged salami and tangy cheeses.
Serving
Serve at 60–64°F (16–18°C). Use a large-bowled glass to capture the aromatics. Decant if drinking young.
