Clumsy opening but 30+ minutes in opened to licorice & roses. Fairly dark fruited with nutty development. Last glass 2+ hours in was the best of course.

Medium rubi robe, nose of crushed flowers, tobacco, tar, and a hint of anise and other spices. Very reserved in the mouth even after good decanting, very prominent but polished tannins. This is great stuff but requires more time in the bottle. 5 to 7 years probably. Our first bottle of Canonica, we loved it !

2023/2. I’m always happy to have this (not least because there aren’t many examples of Nebbiolo Rose to go around) but this edition feels a little blowsy and perhaps volatile, especially for the first few hours - it does come together to reveal more typical red fruit and dried rose after a while

Feb 26th, 20232020/4/4-5 with Roman angello alla cacciatora in bianca disossato, roasted canola greens and sautéed morning glories, and grilled pork kashira, katsuo tataki, and wasabina salad. I wanted to revisit this since reading up on nebbiolo rose (of which this is 50%) in D’Agata’s books. The it opened a bit mute, with some smoke, tar and heat, but with time fruit both rich and bright and floral elements all emerged. There is juicy acidity, and a ton of tannin that rounded out with air. Better and more fragrant and integrated still on day 2. This was the best Grinzane yet - I am looking forward to more

Apr 8th, 2020A warm-year wine, rich but red-fruited - it also does take a minute to come together and integrate the alcohol. It’ll be very interesting to see how this develops.

From a 1ha plot one town over from la morra. Super light and ethereal style, even with the 15.5% abv. changing all the time developing a nice sense of sweetness on the nose against rose and tar. Really came together with lunch the 2nd day. Wine of the trip
