9.0

Magnum format, was saving to drink with a good friend who lived around lake Como and introduced me to inferno docg. Look, this was a 9.1 nose, 8.8 palate to be honest. Had nice dried rose petal and light tar, strawberry aroma which intensified after an hour or so, and was delicate and refined; palate never caught up; light bodied with short finish; some shitaki mushroom and just fallen leaves; not much complexity on the palate. Rating inflated as we enjoyed it together with parmigianno, Comte, pecorino. Who cares, memories are a huge part of why I enjoy certain wines. — 18 days ago

9.1

Beautiful aromatics with light (dried?) dusty cherries, wilted flowers, a hint of rose. Quite light, quite aetheric. So enticing!
Light bodied on the palate and very juicy. A present, fine tannic frame, filled with light cherry, a hint of red fruits, a light herby note. So poised & elegant and really delicious! — 2 years ago

Notably firmer and more deeply pitched than the Grumello. Sassella all the way from now on — 7 months ago

9.1

Dark and brooding, smoky and masculine, yet with lightness and freshness. At 18 years of age this is in its perfect drinking window. A beautiful Nebbiolo that’s not from Barolo or Barbaresco. — 3 years ago

9.1

Powerful for a Valtellina, and a little on the austere side. Mature nose shows chokecherry and leather, mahogany scents, along with lots of crushed rock. Intense but lean in the mouth, with zingy acidity and zippy crisp cherry and lots of minerality. Still a bit of puckery tannin. My brother brought this back from Italy a few years ago for me. Grazie! — 3 years ago

9.2

Beautiful wine, cherry, black tea, soil and floral tones, soft and generous for a Valtellina nebbiolo, a bit overshadowed by the more structured Sassella bottling — 7 months ago

9.2

Truncated party notes. Perfumed deep fresh and macerated cherry, spice, crushed stone. Relatively full for a Valtellina. Would benefit from a couple more years but delicious now. — 7 months ago

Tonight the Grumello was better, but still this was very good. More firm and structured than the Grumello, but lacked the aromatics that I was hoping for! — 3 years ago
