Don't really get the Burgundy/Pinot Noir comparisons people are making with Nerello. For me it's a lot for Nebbiolo-like, albeit more approachable. Sour cherries, rose petal, dried herb. A bit on the simple side, but an interesting wine.

Trippy wine. Over-the-top peachy, fruity intensity. Aromatics are very distinctive if a bit one-note. Fascinating structure; delicate at first, then the fierce tannins creep in.

Simple black cherry bomb, weightier than expected. Lacks balance and a little hot. Pretty good with a nice pizza pie though.

Big fan of this wine. Red Cherry, rose, mineral and dried herbs. Raspberry coulis, dried cranberry and smashed up rocks.
Lovely acidity, medium bodied with easy tannins.
