Bright Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruits and floral notes, from 50-year old vines planted over granite, undergo long maceration period. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with spice, licorice and perfumed floral notes. Fine chewy tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, floral spice and slight earthy character.

Aug 27th, 2023A beautifully soft yet expressive wine. This Nebbiolo sings. My first experience with this wine. Drinking well now with the acidity to last several more years. #Telegraph

Feels like typical nebbiolo given the color, but this wine gives very little on the palate. Quite muddled with medicinal green tannin notes that overwhelm the strawberry and other fruit notes that should come through.

Still presents with classic tar and dried herb aromas, but with more pronounced ripe red fruits compared to its local Nebbiolo cousins. Tannins are still firm but more velvety with good acid structure. Alcohol is noticeably lighter for the varietal making it perhaps too easy to drink!
