Fletcher Barbaresco Recta Pete 2020

Don't be fooled, this will need time to soften, but is surprisingly joyous and elegant already. Dave Fletcher's Barbaresco Recta Pete (meaning shoot straight) displays classic Nebbiolo characters of crunchy red cherry, orange peel, herb, earth and roasted dry fruits. Grippy tannins continue throughout the palate. This finishes off with an understated sophictication. This rewards time and patience. 

"Just mid ruby. Still tightly knit on the nose and with lifted perfumed and peppery notes. Focused and fresh red-fruit palate that is completely dry, while the crunchy tannins take their time to emerge and grip the fresh red fruit on the finish. Just a hint of oatmeal. Ends a little vibrant." - 17+ Pts, Walter Speller
