2020 Fletcher Barbaresco Starderi

Only painfully small allocations of this wine are available because there is only a painfully small amount of it made.

Dave Fletcher sources fruit from three separate vineyards across the Starderi Cru. This specific bottling comes from his favourite of the three sites - a 0.1ha parcel on the Western ridge of the Cru.

The difference between this and the stadard Barbaresco lies in sense of tension and definition this wine displays. Everything is ratcheted up a notch or three.

The tannins are tighter and more chiselled, the armatic more beguiling and complex. It's a whole other level of enjoyment on offer here.

Only a tiny amount of this wine makes it to Australia. Allocations are measured in a number of bottles, not cases. If you want this gorgeous Nebbiolo as part of your collection, you'll need to be quick.
