The 2020 Barbaresco Pora is a powerful, brooding wine. Even so, it retains notable energy. Dark red fruit, leather, licorice, dried flowers and mocha add to a feeling of virile intensity. This somber, expressive Pora is quite impressive. All it needs is time in bottle. This is a pretty wine for Ca’ del Baio.- By Antonio Galloni on September 2024

A wine conceived almost as a challenge, made from one of the most extensive, historic crus in the Barbaresco wine-growing area and one of the most long-lasting. Greeted with acclaim as soon as it was vinified separately for the first time in 2004.
