Dense, youthful purple. This has plenty of life left and may have been opened too early. Aromas with air show a black cherry, bitter almond and cherry pit. The palate is equally tannic as nebbiolo but offers a fleshier texture, perhaps due to the anthocyanin content. Having been lucky enough to meet a scion of the winemaking family this week I understand that they expect that this wine will be able to age for at least a decade.

Light on its feet with perfumed dried flowers wafting out of the glass - fresh tart rhubarb and red berry compote. Stunning wine. Exotic spice keeps you coming back for more. Structured enough for just about anything you could put on the table.

Smoky-ripe black cherry and violets with acid and tannin galore. Serve chilled with charcuterie and cheese, this could be a Piemontese Cru Beaujolais stand-in. The Vajra version is dry and weighs in at 14% ABV. Freisa has a parent-offspring relationship with Nebbiolo... so for some of us, things couldn’t get much better. Shocked (!!!) that this is a 2015 wine; hard to imagine how hard you’d get slapped with a more recent vintage. Eataly.

Violets, blueberries, and brutal tannin. Quite nice until the tannins locked down after about a half hour of air. Would love to try this with some age.
