Fabrizio Battaglino, Roero Riserva 2015 Sergentin

Fabrizio relaunched his Riserva from the 2013 which, by 2020 was drinking extremely well but is already eclipsed by this 2015 bottling. It has everything a high quality wine from this region should have with a delightful sourness to the fruit with rose and tar in the mix. Quite tannic when it was young, as you'd expect, but opening up well over time and with a good life ahead.
