I wasnt too familiar with this producer, but it has aged gracefully….tannin present but softened, dried red fruit, spicy, leather, dried leaves, black tea…mainly earth driven but fruit still present. Paired with good ole pizza by a fire…

1996 vintage. Nice, mature Nebbiolo. Showing lots of saddle leather and secondary notes. Drink up now

Beautiful leather stone dried flowers and red berries. Fine tannins and great acidity. Very youthful. Killer.

Interesting older Barbaresco - has peaked and on it's way down. Beautiful, tight, savory nose - benefits from decanting - rosemary, lamb, white peppercorn. A bit thin and tart on palate, but still some nice dried cherry and thyme.

Black currant finishes. Rich tannin. Need a decent while to wake up and be careful with the bottom
