Last year, I was compelled to make a 3-minute video on the previous vintage:

"One of the most distinctive wines in all of Piedmont. This is such a gorgeous wine." -95 Points, Antonio Galloni

• We are one of the only merchants to receive a pittance of an allocation!

• This is 1 of 2 wines left on Earth made from a clone of Nebbiolo called Nebbiolo Rose

• This vineyard was planted in 1912. These 110 year-old vines and the oldest in all of Piedmont by about 50 years.

• Only 20 rows from that planting still exist are the last of this clone.

• Natale Simonetta's great-grandfather is Angelo Gaja's Grandfather

• Only 600 cases were made

• Grapes are crushed by foot for most gentle extraction possible

• Bottled with a minimum of sulfur

• The result is an utterly beautiful Barbaresco that illuminates the delicacy for which Nebbiolo Rosé is known. It is remarkably expressive, showing even greater nuance when decanted.

• Drink now—2045

2017 Cascina Baricchi "Rose delle Casasse" Barbaresco Riserva DOCG

94 Points - Vinous:

"The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Rose delle Casasse is a rich, heady wine that is going to need a number of years to come into its own. Time in the glass releases gorgeous aromatics to play off a core of dark red/purplish fruit, spice and licorice notes. There's tons of depth and character, but this is an uncharacteristically reticent 2017. Give this exotic beauty time. The aromatics alone are so inviting." Drink 2024-2037 - Antonio Galloni (September 2023)

93 Points - Wine Spectator:

"This is reaching its sweet spot, with the cherry, plum and floral notes fading a little, giving way to dried fruit, leather, spice and tobacco flavors. Balanced and charming, with dense yet civilized tannins and an expansive finish. Drink now through 2038. 872 cases made." - Bruce Sanderson (April 2024)
