Medium deep ruby , quite thin garnet rim . Aromatic and open at the start , dried herbs , rosemary , thyme , hedgerow , dried dark cherry , black tea , black pepper and touch of anis. On the palate this is quite rich , but with refreshing acidity , dried dark fruits, black tea and dried wild herbs , hedgerow notes . Quite fine tannins and surprisingly integrated alcohol with a long dried rose , herbal tinged finish . This is perfect now but no rush though is unlikely to improve, from now and over the next 5 -8 years . A unique take on Valpolicella , complex, lively and though
Weighty is extremely well balanced . — 7 days ago

This is a large-auditorium college intro class in Valtellina Nebbiolo. (In contrast to a graduate seminar led by Professor Marsetti or Professor Ar.Pe.Pe.) Loads of dried cherry fruit and winey old barrel scents on the nose. A bit of faded rose petals and stone. The light color looks fairly advanced. The palate is openly fruited initially, but has a bit of a tannic clench at the end. So the balance to be struck is drinking while the fruit is so nice but waiting to see if the tannins drop and soften. Not a long term project. Enjoy over the next few years would be my take, but I tend to favor things on the younger side. — 2 months ago

A Barolo wearing a paisley tie. Very fresh, medium minus body. Would have guessed five-year old Nebbiolo. — 6 days ago

A touch past its prime but showing well overall. Stylistically somewhere between Quintarelli and Ca’ La Bionda. I was expecting a little more funk. Medium bodied (perhaps due to the vintage) with a sleek and elegant texture. — a month ago

Very nice! Red cherry, plum, and dried fruit. Deep ruby. Acidity and Tannins are nicely balanced. Excellent spice note. Went great with our duck breast and lingonberry sauce. — 2 months ago

Vino vValtellinese — my favorite. Still young but juicy, minty, red fruit, brown sugar, etc. Better than 2015 vintage. — a day ago
