bella barbera viva, rimbalza in bocca come un flipper con la sua freschezza viva e il suo frutto intenso, la ciliegia così tipica. un viso che si abbinanpiacevolmente anche a tutto pasto a condizione che non ci siano portate troppo corpose — 11 years ago

"Odedi"
Reddish in color with medium plus intensity.
Pretty nose of wild flowers, red cherries, currants, light wood, tobacco, chocolates and coffee.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, earth, tobacco, herbs, peppercorn, dark chocolates, coffee and light tar.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty Barbaresco. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Needed a few hours to open up, so be patient. Tannins show up after 2 hours of airtime, and bring structure to the wine.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years, and showing good potential to become a 93+ point wine.
This Single Vineyard Nebbiolo is very complex, engaging and a good food wine.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in French and Hungarian oak barrels for 24 months. A limited production of less than 8,000 bottles.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
