Wet autumn leaves, camphor, Amaro, root beer, licorice, menthol, truffle, dried flowers, tar. The non-fruits alone are incredibly complex. Muddled cherry and red plum. So many woodsy notes on all fronts. The VA was right at my limit, a touch pushy and beginning to muddle character especially with more aeration.

This wine was outstanding. In perfect harmony. Elegant and refined. Long finish. Excellent with mushroom lasagna.

Excellent nebbiolo from the slopes of Valtellina: delicate small red fruits and a hint of sweet tobacco and cinnamon. Fresh and long lasting at the palate, a perfect match with my "cotoletta alla Milanese"

Nose focused but subtle. Sour cherry, licorice, roses, and tar. Classic. Beautifully and gently textured with a persistent finish. Just lovely.
