One of the few rose wines I adore. 100% Nebbiolo from Valtellina. Nose is light but vivid cherry and some tobacco and tar. Gorgeous clarity. So much energy and precision and so so juicy. What a wine. Amazing length. Now after air the fruit is sweeter and the nose is so floral. This is elite. 9.3 to 9.4

This bottle is by far the craziest one yet. Nose is just magic. Elite smokey watermelon. Roses that are so in your face. Layered. It smells like Grand Cru Burgundy. This is amazing. It’s got one foot in Burgundy, one foot in Provence and one foot in Valtellina. Wow. A stunning nose. 9.6 I think on the nose. Palate is so fresh, so concentrated and so tangy with beautiful citrus fruits and insane palate presence. Sappy, long, elegant and pure. Amazing length, structure and grip. Magnificent.

Nose of burnt orange peel, flowers, fresh sea breeze and nice engaging minerality. Some wet dog as well. Palate is fresh and bracing. Nice opulence in the mid and good sap and structure on the finish. Long finish. Great.

Crazy nose on a cool a f rose. I detest rose and love this wine. Was $18 i think. Nose of dried leaves, some faint roses, citrus skin, really nice and precise. Palate is precise and vivid with lovely first of season cherry and come citrusy elements. High acid and nice structure. Needs 30 minutes of air. Nice density, structure and concentration.

Delectable seems to have deleted the Alpi Retichi… Motalli rosé nebbiolo the true anti-rosé. Always balanced, multilayered, soulful.

If all rose were this food I’d drink a ton of rose.

Nose is heaven. A field of lemon flowers blinded by Nebbiolo flowers.

Palate is so elegant. Savory. God. So delicious. Orange peel. Spice. It’s like An amazing Nebbiolo ... but rose.

Almost like gods Negroni. But low alcohol.

One of the best roses ive had.

Strawberry, peach skin, stony, fine tannin - haven’t had much Nebbiolo rosé, this is very interesting 👌
