Franco Serra draws from 25-year-old Nebbiolo vines throughout the appellation, hand-harvested in mid-October and fermented in stainless steel to preserve the grape's aromatic precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 vintage was marked early by a damaging spring frost that cut yields sharply; what survived was harvested with exceptional concentration after a long, hot summer. Natale and Fabio Pesenti aged the wine for two years in oak (20% new), producing a Barbaresco with the structure to improve in the cellar and the fruit to drink well now. 91 points, James Suckling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eBraised short ribs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNebbiolo's firm tannins unwind against collagen-rich meat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003ePorcini mushroom risotto\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eearthy depth mirrors the wine's dried fruit and mineral core\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eAged Parmigiano or Pecorino\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003esalt and fat soften the tannin edge, acidity carries through\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Banville Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62550100279455,"sku":"8477","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0232\/3203\/files\/IMG-0756.jpg?v=1761860432","url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/franco-serra-barbaresco-docg-2021-750ml","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
