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.
