Nose has roses and some nice meaty tones that come with age. Spicey as well. Basically classic Costa Della Sessia. Juicy palate with nice lift and really in a great place. Red fruits and spice throughout. Nice mintyness as well and surprisingly good length. Very sappy and very pure. As it airs out this gets some tannic heft and density. 9.1 to 9.2.

In a lovely place! Thanks @Lyle Fass for the guidance to drink now. I really enjoyed the cherry and spice notes, plus some dried rose petals.

Wow. This has aged magnificently. As good a bottle of entry level wine as I’ve had from Italy. Such a joy to drink.
N: pink roses. Some bramble.
P: perfect Nebbiolo fruit still fresh. Awesome.

Apr 7th, 2026My god. What a wine. Like $20 or so. Such purity.
Nose: fresh leather. Intense pink roses.
Palate: so fresh. Intense and pure fresh cherries. Nebbiolo spice. Wow.
A magnificent bottle of inexpensive wine. So proud that I had a part in bringing this into our country.
