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

Angular, lean, deeply mineral, all skeleton. Tannins are firm, fine, persistent, love the length and drying finish this has. Rustic, earthy, VA present but lifting. Very tense. Great value.

A more elegant and approachable Nebbiolo than Iām used to but just a perfect all around Red to pair with a meal from start to finish.
