Burnt orange edges. Nebbiolo, that speaks of the Sassela area. Had this several years ago nothing compared to how it's drinking now. Aged four years in Chestnut barrels and a minimum of two years in the bottle before release. Tobacco, tilled earth and green/bell pepper fill your nose. Great acid and tannins that still speak-trying to hide its age. Flashing strawberry pie, tart cherry, floral elements and hint of smoke.Finish that goes on and on. A special wine in a great place right now.

A richer terroir is displayed here, more mineral and deeper concentration of fruits. Wonderfully structured, this wine will pair with almost anything at the table.

Vintage 1995, a joyful magnum, perfectly paired with a splendid quail with foie gras and cornmeal mush 😋
