Opened just prior to service and poured into a decanter. This is the second time I have had the opportunity to enjoy the 1967 Riserva although, the previous bottle was a more recent library release from the Borgogno cellars. This was a period release and yet, the experience was similar.

The 1967 Riserva pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core moving towards a slightly orange rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and some slight signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous but showing much more power than the ‘67 Abbazia SS Annunziata we drank on the same evening. Again, there is a lovely mix of ripe and desiccated red and dark fruits with forest floor, porcini, dried roses, tar, some tobacco, dried herbs, dusty earth and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long a savory. My previous notes suggested to drink now and while I still hold fast to that statement, twice in the span of 18mos with two separate bottlings encourages me to be a bit more bullish and suggest this has many years, perhaps decades left in the tank. — 23 days ago

Yellow straw color. The nose really citrusy, floral with hints of crushed gravel and subtle note of petrol. On the palate bright and crispy, notes of green apple, lemon zest, petroleum. The finish quite acidic and precise. Really nice companion for pizza and pasta. — 3 years ago

This wine made from the Nosiola grape was a pleasant surprise and a delightful wine This 2016 vintage was drank in June 2024 at 8 years was nicely balanced between dry and sweet. It was crisp with a lingering taste of stone fruit. Look forward to tasting this wine again. — 8 months ago

Reminiscent of a Nebbiolo in its acidity and a Pinot noir in its minerality. You won’t find this much harmony in many other wines. — 2 years ago

Old Nebbiolo nose with sour cherry on palate for first two hours, then rose and red fruit for next hour, then as it was just hitting its stride it was gone - we finished it. Next time need to be more patient, if I’m lucky enough for a next time. Purchased from Walker Wines who has great old Nebbiolo offerings. — 5 years ago
