Barrique nr. 15
Auction Base – Barrique nr. 15
Galloni’s Opinion
We’ve arrived at barrique 15 now, and I think this is a wine that really encapsulates all of the different aspects, sides, facets of the vintage. It’s aromatic, it’s got a certain bit of a nervous energy to it, really bright red toned fruit with citrus blood orange overtones. It’s a young wine still coming together. There may be some other wines that are a little bit more friendly now, a little bit more approachable, but this to me is what young Nebbiolo in barrique is really all about: it’s an infant, it’s something that’s going to develop in time. I like that wine’s energy and it’s fighting against it a little bit, but in a good sense. And again, these are wines where the aging is going to really determine the final outcome. But today, this is a very pretty wine that shows that lighter style of the year quite nicely.

Continuation of project for the restoration and valorisation of the historic Villa Arconati.
For years, ARF has been operating by promoting cultural initiatives, national and international relations and links, as well as the important project for the restoration of the Villa Arconati, institutional headquarters of the Foundation, and its garden. Its objective is not only to restore this heritage to the community, but to valorise today, in a contemporary and international perspective, its identity as a place of Architecture and the Arts, which in the past was known as the “Versailles of Milan”. The restoration works continue with the aim of giving new life to forgotten areas of the Villa, including the Cantinone, a place of particular charm, unchanged over the centuries, which after the renovation will be open to the public and will host cultural activities and events promoting food and wine for the benefit of an area that is very committed to such matters.
