95 Points, Wine Spectator “Distinctive for its balsamic notes of green olive and juniper, with flavors of earth, plum, blackberry and iron. There’s breadth, and this red is balanced in a youthful way. Should knit together nicely in a few years. Best from 2029 through 2047." - Bruce Sanderson March 2026
95 Points, JebDunnuck.com “From Sant’Agata fossil marl soils, the 2021 Barbaresco Albesani pours a slightly deeper transparent ruby color. Aromatically, it delivers notes of raspberries, pressed flowers, stony earth, and violets. On the palate, it offers more depth and a gentle silkiness to the fruit that works seamlessly with the tannins and acidity. This balances richness with poise. Drink 2026-2040.” - Audrey Frick, Apr 2026
17+ Points, JancisRobinson.com "Neive. Palish ruby. A tiny bit stalky and reduced at first. Lifted rose-hip and raspberry fruit on the nose and with a clear minerally streak. Lively, almost vibrant on the attack. Great purity of red fruit on a layer of tasty gripping tannins. Still too young to approach." - Walter Speller, June 2025
