This is consistently one of the best things you can get for $38. Gave it plenty of air, and it opened up beautifully. Chewy cherries, leather, and crushed rock. I guess that's how I'd describe lots of Barolos, but this is a fine specimen. Thanks for reminding me @Tom Casagrande

2022. Young and very fruit forward. Tannins are fairly smooth and acidity not overwhelming. It would be hard for me to say Nebbiolo vs Dolcetto (and it should be clearer), but it paired so well with Andy’s Pizza 🍕!
