2003 vintage:
89 points, Wine Advocate:
“The brooding 2003 Barbaresco Valeirano is full and rich, with plenty of fruit, smoke and earth notes as well as a bigger and distinctly more masculine personality. Although it shows the hard tannins of the vintage, it offers better overall balance than the Gallina. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015.”
89 points, Wine Spectator.
