The nose has civilized with air, still wildly Nebbiolo, but now the chestnut, mint, tar, dried roses, spice, and a fascinating honeyed element are all starting to braid together. The palate has insane energy, with the fruit-tannin exchange finally happening instead of the tannins simply taking hostages in the back of the mouth. Beautiful fruit, serious structure, huge Alto Piemonte personality. Nebbiolo remains the most punk rock grape on earth. Amazing wine. — 13 days ago

Olfatto incredibile. In bocca ancora tannino da levigare e morbidezze. Attenzione effetto alcol — a year ago

Some of us, being Nebbiolo supplicants, love Ghemme for its paradoxical meaty, bloody, yet light qualities. This has it in spades, on the edge of cherry cough syrup but never quite there. The woods, especially on the nose. This wine would benefit from a large glass.
It’s a bit of a sneaky, under the radar winery, hopefully for a bit still.
Lots of cherries, loam, dirt, blood, stoniness. Delicious. A ‘17 feels just about right. — 2 years ago

My first Ghemme Nebbiolo! Once it opened up it was like a rustic tomato sauce loaded up with dried oregano, almost sweet. Grippy but soft tannins. Ripe cherry and earth. Delicious. — a year ago

Nice Nebbiolo from ghemme. Didn’t change a ton from night 1 to night 2 which mostly makes me feel that this needs several more years to really come into its own. The nose is excellent - classic nebbiolo bouquet, though somehow both slightly darker and more floral than expected. It’s all there on the palate including the great acid but the tannins are quite unresolved. — 10 months ago
