Only 3 in stock
The 2021 Barbaresco ‘Tre Stelle’ from Cascina delle Rose is a beautiful expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barbaresco’s most quietly brilliant crus. Nestled in the hills of Piemonte’s Langhe, the Tre Stelle vineyard lies on steep, calcareous marl soils with good drainage and excellent sun exposure — conditions that bring precision and elegance to the wine. Cascina delle Rose is a tiny, family-run estate with just over 5 hectares under vine. Led by Giovanna Rizzolio and her son Riccardo, the winery has become a cult favourite for its traditional, minimal-intervention approach, with everything done by hand and no chemical treatments in the vineyards.
The 2021 vintage was cooler and slower-ripening than previous years, resulting in wines with incredible finesse and tension. This Barbaresco is lifted and fragrant, with aromas of red cherry, rose petal, wild herbs and a touch of earth. The tannins are fine and chalky, giving structure without overwhelming the palate. It’s a wine of grace, not power — a slow burn. Pair it with wild mushroom risotto, roast duck, truffle tagliatelle or firm cheeses like Castelmagno or aged Taleggio. Decant it for an hour and enjoy at around 16°C for best expression.
