Earthy on the nose with lots of plum and dark raisin notes. Delicious. Alcohol is balanced.

I would elect for less concentration and more energy. Stewed black cherries, dried cranberries and blood orange. Chocolate, dusty dried herbs.

Una meravigliosa annata per la barbera si conferma anche con mascarello.. Più pronta e meno complessa rispetto a Conterno.

It's just an absolute stunner. What a beautiful Nebbiolo. In London, we enjoyed this beauty at a beautiful restaurant where we enjoyed it mainly with a gnocchi and pork chop. Superb 👌🏽
