Not for me. Modern styled so that up front #fruit power masks typical #nebbiolo #finesse. Pira use rotary fermenters. Research if need to learn more on this subject.

9.4

It's red cherry and strawberry, licorice and roses. There's a bit of black tea and leather on the palate. Great balance and absolutely lovely.

I love this. Nebbiolo young, but drink it.

Limited nose and attack but showed well on the finish. Fully integrated and rounded. Rustic, leathery and dry. No fireworks but a nice wine with tenderloin.

I give the wine a 9.3..... but I give myself a 5.3 because this is WAY too tannic to open before a decade of ageing. Pucker up poopy pants, because my lips are pursed.
