-Ca del Baio Barbaresco Pora 05

The aromas have a pure, amazing lift of fruit - raspberry and blueberry to start, picking up dark cherry, enhanced by subtle brown spices and rose essence. Remarkably supple for a young wine - you have got to try it. - Marcus

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 92 Points

The 2005 Barbaresco Pora is a gorgeous wine. A deeply spiced, enticing bouquet melds seamlessly into a palate of ripe, generous dark fruit. This soft, caressing Barbaresco reveals terrific depth and persistence, with a round, harmonious close.

With air the 2005 Pora is accessible today, but readers who prefer more tertiary nuance will need to cellar the wine for a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.

Proprietor Giulio Grasso makes his Barbarescos in a plump, juicy fruit-driven style.
