Amazing subtle black cherry, allspice and soft tannin — 3 years ago
There is not enough lively acidities and tannic grip to provide support, texture and definition for the aromas that are dominated now by old wood and lack detail and focus. Some people like its relaxed, unforced style but the winemaking is not as accomplished as those from Roagna, Cavallotto and Oddero. After 24 hours, the aroma dissipates to reveal the tertiary notes and the tannins come forward. — 6 years ago
A bit richer, rounder and more relaxed, still authentic, refined and restrained — 7 years ago


Alive but on the downhill. Drink up. Good thick fruit but lacking a bit of acidity. It’s the vintage I guess. BTW, the bottle hasn’t leaked. The stain on the lable is from somewhere else. — 8 years ago

Stunning. Tart yet round with strawberries, apples, oranges, and minerals. As it warms up there is prominent butter and spice. I need to find more. — 10 years ago
Quite deep garnet , just a hint of ruby and a wide garnet , terracotta rim. Touches of chestnut , dark fruits , earthy liquorice , dry spice and black tea . On the palate this is very classically styled , with dark liquorice tinged blackberry, raspberry , spiced black tea and menthol tinged good long length finish . Balanced acaidity and quite high , grippy tannins. With time this is beginning to show quite well , but will not doubt improve over the next 5 perhaps 10 years and last well a further 10 . Really quite classic and imposing in style , but detailed and complex. — 9 months ago



Very impressive for the vintage. Drinking well now. Proof (along w B. Mascarello) that good producers who weren’t hit by hail made good wines. Sadly Cavallotto was wiped out, and Brovia nearly so. — 8 years ago
