Alpine clarity... roses, bright cherry, rustic notes of forest floor and mushrooms. Perfect with rich Northern Italian food. Vintage charts are generally different than Piemonte... would love to try the 2011.

Lots of high notes. Very little mid palate. Look at that transparency!

Alpine cherry... really balanced. Good acidity. Hits all points of your tongue. Delicious.

A rare 100% Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte (usually blended). Textbook aromatics. Great value. High toned, red fruit, as it should be...

2013 vintage. Lean and acidic on its own. Much happier with food (think fatty roasts, creamy cheeses)
