Cascina Baricchi Barbaresco Rose delle Casasse Riserva 2019
94 points Vinous (Galloni)
Drinking window: 2025 - 2034
The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rose delle Casasse is fabulous. Rich and ample in feel, the 2019 is seriously impressive. There is a feeling of breadth that is palpable. Dark red/purplish fruit, rose petal, blood orange and spice blossom with a bit of coaxing. Readers can drink the 2019 now or cellar it. Time in the glass brings out the wine's inner perfume. This finishes with notable substance and explosive resonance.
Vineyard: Sourced from the Casasse vineyard in Neive. Made from a 1.4 hectare parcel. The original piece (.4 hectare) was planted in 1913. Additionally there are .2 hectares which were replanted and in 2008 and .8 hectare which were replanted in 2009.
Soil: A mix of clay with some limestone, chalk and sand.
Viticulture: In general the farming is practicing organic although they will intervene as minimally as possible should the vintage require it.
Vinification: Fermentation in stainless steel with a maceration of about 15 days with remontage.
Aging: Part of the wine goes into 5-800 liter untoasted casks, part in botti of 2500 liters. Both stay in casks for four years. The wine is then blended and bottled and stays two years in the bottle before release.
