Cantina del Signore
Riserva Borgofranco Gattinara Nebbiolo
Vercelli, Piedmont, Italy
Nose: aged nebbiolo. Old library. Cherry remnants. Dried roses. Expansive as it opens.
Palate: silky cherry juice. So elegant. Sour cherries. Lovely. So fresh.
The nose is approaching amazing old Nebbiolo. The palate is still half way between young Lucius fruit and old nebbiolo.
I’d give this 3 years at this point. But it proves that these wines can and will age beautifully

Wow.
Nose is dusty roses. Cherry flowers.
Palate is perfect sweet cherry juice. Some spice. Wow. This is maximally delicious. Mineral. You can’t stop drinking this. Fresh. Perfect hint of balancing bitterness.
20-5 was hot in the Langhe but in Alto it’s a perfect vintage if you like sweet Nebbiolo fruit.

Ok. MUCH better than the previous bottle which was a reticent bastard for some damned reason. This is the wine I loved.
Nose is earth and perfume. Gorgeous. Intoxicating. Lilacs ? God. I’m almost crying it’s so good. Ever changing - top level Nebbiolo nose.
As this open it’s Fucking volnay. It’s fucking volnay. Lilacs. A hint of candied lilacs. Amazing.
Palate is sweet cherry fruit. Jaw dropping texture. Incredibly juicy. Just juicy as hell so drinkably delicious for a wine of this level of elegance. Elegant like 1er cru burgundy.
Long as heck.
