YEAR’S BEST BAROLO & BARBARESCO; Vigna la Rosa is a 12-acre vineyard within the large Fontanafredda estate, planted entirely to nebbiolo. It gave a snappy, fresh wine in 2015, with flavors of cherry and pomegranate framed by chewy new-leather tannins. Zesty orange peel notes and soft rose petal scents add lift, while earthy tones of tobacco and dried leaves add dimension. – S.J.
