Epic! Firing on all cylinders at the moment. Proof that natural wine can age beautifully.

Sadly, a corked or baked bottle😪. Initially some off notes, cardboard, even Brett notes of wet fur. With 30 minutes of air, we get soy sauce and burnt pepper. 90 minutes later, cedar box and no fruit. There was just no saving this bottle. Such a shame. We’re working with the distributor.

Everything you'd want in a barbaresco. Hard to find but well worth it. Beautiful wine.

The nose is amazing, perfume-y, violets, plums and sweet dark cherries, forest floor, leather, dark chocolate and tobacco as it evolves. Surprisingly light bodied, but the tannins are grippy, with a prominent acidity but extremely lithe and prominent notes of juicy steak, leather, cherries

An incredible wine. It definitely stands on it's own with changing flavors featuring leather, chocolate, and spices. Another standout wine from Fabio Gea!

Dark fresh fruits. Nice acid and tannin-y finish. Balanced. Very nice.

This is excellent. Black cherry and herbs. So much in this. Fairly tannic.
