Wow, this is awesome right out of the gate and is quickly improving with air

This lived up to my high expectations for this producer. A disarmingly lightweight Nebbiolo (as is proper to Grumello). Good acid, leather and red raspberry jam. Some occasional allusion to plums but not browning, the acid erased any fears of an oxidized palate--I would infer the high acid will keep the contents in a suspended preserved state for some time. Just drinks itself. Fantastic.

Insanely delicious Nebbiolo from valtellina. Deep cherry, nectarine, and blood orange with bright acid yet supple mouthfeel. Balanced wine selections is winning with this entry

15 years and still going strong. Great nuance, a core of sweet red fruit and nicely resolved. Drinking beautifully. Unfortunately there are only 20 bottles left and they aren't for sale but it's a great window into what his current release can become. Bravo Giorgio!

JR wine straight from winery. A lighter Nebbiolo that's is lively and that mountain air freshness not usually associated with Nebbiolo. From Swiss border. Great balance of red fruit, minerals, acids and savory notes. Light on its feet. Delightful!
