{"product_id":"barbaresco-2022","title":"Barbaresco 2022","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eYou didn't plan to end up here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eYou were supposed to be in Milan — a meeting, a handshake, something forgettable. But somewhere between Turin and Alba, the fog came down off the Alps and the taxi driver, a man of few words and strong opinions, took a different road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNow you're standing at the edge of a vineyard in the Langhe, and a woman with flour still on her apron is pressing a glass into your hand without being asked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is the 2022 Battaglio Barbaresco. Gianluca made 1,500 bottles. His family picked every cluster by hand — the same hands that pruned the vines in February, in cold that made your breath visible at noon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 2022 is not the 2021. It doesn't want to be. Where last year had backbone and insistence, this one settles into you differently — unhurried, generous, almost luxurious. The fruit is fresh cherry and rose petal, but underneath runs something richer, something that coats the glass slowly. The tannins are present but they've been smoothed by the vintage, the way river stones are smoothed by years of water moving over them. The finish is long, dry, classically Italian — and the creaminess lingers well past the last sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDecant two hours. Pour into something wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe wine will change between dinner and midnight. Let it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e-Tony Margiotta \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eJoin our monthly wine philosophy club: www.BreathingWine.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battaglio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49729226080495,"sku":null,"price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/0890\/0847\/files\/BattaglioBarbaresco.png?v=1725817869","url":"https:\/\/www.italianwine.store\/products\/barbaresco-2022","provider":"Italian Wine Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
