What I know about this wine is it’s huge aging potential; what I didn’t know was that their skill level is so high that even their young Barolos — if this bottle is indicative —are complete, perfectly balanced, and taste as if they are made to drink now! This wine was much more delicate, floral, Burgundian, and tea-scented than I expected compared to the other notable Barolo producers I have experienced. What a stunning introduction to this producer! — 2 years ago

2018 helped a lot with that early approachability and Burgundian sensibility. The 2013’s by contrast are still fairly locked up.

Weird nose blows off to reveal a subtle Syrah. Low ABV with potential (acidified?) brightness. However, there’s an almost Cab-Franc woodiness, and furry-toothed tannins that keep things serious. — 8 years ago

Rich, toasty, highly mineral, and bone dry. Beautiful expression of this grape that I’m just starting to explore! I love this style! — 3 years ago

The skin contact is moderate and very elegant. A very floral bouquet with an intense, nutty finish. A bit more acidity would sell this for me! — 8 years ago

The amazing thing about this bottle, as we tasted in in Barolo along with several other whites, is that this wine has an floral and structural quality that is so much like all of the other whites. It’s like a blend of Arneis and German Riesling. Floral and aromatic, with intense acidity. Light, but with some RS. Wonderful!

What a killer balance of opposites on the nose: a wave of bright, ripe berries is followed by an aged, black-fruit-forward note that kinda reminds me of Rioja reserva! An elegant cologne-scent peaks out behind waves of fresh fruit. On the palate, that subtle interplay continues. I love the amount of leather, cologne, and cigar box I get on this fresh, new-world delicacy! Magic!
