Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba

Deep Ruby color with aromas of rich berry fruits and floral spice, aged for 14 months in French oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry flavors, with leather, cacao, spice, herbs and tobacco notes. Lively acidity, fine chewy tannins, medium+ finish ending with spicy mineral and earthy oak. Nice!

Solid stuff! Red cherries, roses, and spices on the nose. Hefty tannins on the palate, but smooth. Finished mineral and juicy. Clearly has the stuffing to age.

Decant and enjoyed over 3 days. Mouthwatering middle stands up to fatty bbq or rich stews. Red fruit than cleans your palate. Nice! TBL

Fantastic value. Very young and tight and could age for quite some time (10+ years). Definitely cellar potential.

Mid to light bodied with the classic tar and roses you'd expect from Nebbiolo but in the most accessible way possible. Very drinkable.

Valmaggiore; a superiour vineyard in Roero. The sandier soils brings finesse, elegance and a more approachable and instant wine compared to the big boys of Barolo and Barbaresco. This treasure with the legend Bruno Giacosa behind the wheel must be a hallmark example from the cru. Enchanting and mesmerizing nose showcasing the grandeur of Nebbiolo with a varietal, red fruit-rosy primary character and a pronounced savoury and earthy background. Good grip on the palate with fine knitted and gripping tannins and a salivating acidity that is bringing a balanced act through the finish.

Bright cherry and acidity! Exactly what I wanted from this bottle. Perfect for Branzino and scallops pairing.

Bien, équilibré, un peu court

This is some great neb. Lots of candied orange and ripe red cherry. Has been open for about a day and a half or so, making it more rounded and less acidic, but still has a sharp cut.

Dark, somewhat stewed fruits with a quality that kind of reminded me of preserves yet, it was quite light on its feet.
