This is a highly regarded wine and it has all the bones of a great wine - but it just didn’t fit my profile. I prefer a balance of earth and fruit in old world wines and probably lean towards the earth. This was too fruit forward for me. — 3 months ago
Then 2013 Salvioni La Cerbaiola is drop dead Gorgeous in all aspects, including the deep, dark and dense ruby-red, garnet appearance, the fruit-laden, perfumed aromatics and flavors, as well as the well balanced structure of ample fruit, medium acidity, and gentle tannins at the long satisfying finish.
Overall, it’s medium/full, particularly elegant and vibrant, from a cooler than normal vintage that many described as a “return to classicism.” I’m unfamiliar with older vintages (prior to global warming) but this is MY style of Brunello. Refined, Classy and a Joy to swirl, sniff and savor.

The lovely colour of this Nebbiolo, which is ever so slightly pink, adds a great sense of occasion. The nose suggests jam and something like currant. The bouquet includes the flavour of a sweet red apple. The finish is long, with pepper and plum. — 5 months ago

On the nose, lots of strawberry, tart cherry, roses, violets; hint of turned earth; on the palate, lots of primary fruit character. A range of tart cherry, dried strawberry, slight porcini; tannins are fine and dusty. Finish is decently long. — 5 days ago
