Dried dark cherry, singed cedar and balsa wood, cinnamon and dried herbs. Tannins are in check. This is very well done and lived up to the hype as nouveau Alto Piedmonte producers.

Savory and silty. I’d be curious to taste in a few years. Great with the pastas

Good but not special Nebbiolo blend. Much spicier than a Barolo due to the Vespolina, which dominates the finish with strong pepper notes. Much more acidic than Nebbiolo made in neighboring regions, the wine is good with pizza or pasta in red sauce. If it were less expensive it would be a good choice for casual meals.

Very true nose, enlightened and elegant, tastes slightly on the modern side but retains authenticity and individuality.

Youthful rustic very enjoyable wine! I love these rustic old world wines. Cherry, strawberry, dried herbs, and cigar box with dusty tannins. Decanted for only 30 minutes but ideally could use a.longer decant if drinking now.

Really good - like a Nebbiolo with a little more dark fruit and mineral

Primary fruit. Barely touching the surface of what’s to come after double decanting and two days in fridge.
