Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing citrus, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs and spices.
Tangy finish with limes and light almonds.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Nicely balanced and elegant.

89 points.

Bonisimo! Blackberries, licorice, tobacco, and spice. Smoothest Cannonau we have ever had. — 3 years ago
Nicely aged Nebbiolo. Nose a combination of lifted fresh and dried roses, strawberry, hint of caramel, earthy mushroom compost. Slightly dusty. On the palate a nice, silky texture without rough tannic edges and a good dose of acidity. Strawberry, raspberry, sour cherry. Decent length. A nice pairing with homemade carbonara. — 2 months ago
Superb wine drinking following making authentic pesto the old way. — 2 years ago
Falanghina is as flexible as it gets, pears, apricots, jasmine. Acidity to carry the bubbles. Light and structured. — 2 years ago

Funky, spicy, but with plenty of bright cherry to balance. Loud and proud, not particularly balanced but it’s working for this wine. Great with pizza. — 19 hours ago
