A lot of funk going on here but it is still so true to the Nebbiolo grape. Tar, roses. One I kept thinking about the whole day.

A pretty serious Langhe Nebbiolo. Red fruit, tar and a touch of wood polish on the nose - but not in a bad way. Terrific grip on the palate. This is designed to age and I think it will. A teeny bit funky but not enough to detract from an attractive wine that would be interesting to try in a few years.

From my first run thru Biondivino....everyone else was finding extensive "funk" that didn't come through to me. I enjoyed it as a good value, non-BAR- Neb...mid30's I think. .....not AS fun, full, complex as the btg from Pausa that instigated this purchase.

Great development already. Dark, fragrant, pungent and deceptively sturdy. Really lovely and a wine with a future.

Serious wine but a fair amount of fruit. Dried cherries, eucalyptus, and earth. Firm tannic structure. I like it!

2012 vintage. Perfumed nose full of damp earth; sexy, juicy palate; very structured finish. Love. #screwratings
