Bright red fruit. Lacking some typicity.

Pale garnet in colour. In the Langhe but not a Barolo giving this medium style tannins not mouth puckering ones! Red cherry flavours. Perfect with cheddar.

A solid Nebbiolo. Acid, tannins, fruit. Dry. I suspect more time in the bottle would bring this around a little more. But not bad at all. Serve with Pork.

Enjoyable. Typicity? Well, not really. Varietal? Well, yes , perfumed, floral , feminine. Overall: a really pleasant easy drink, devoid of the usual NEBBIOLO tannins and drinkable like an easy Pinot. My score 85/100
