Checks all the boxes save one: tannic imbalance. Other wise lovely deep red fruits, sweet cedar, tobacco leaf, a nice back end pull. Can see how this varietal is usually a team player in Gattinara etc. Possible that a hearty decant and or pairing with oily food could help…

Spezie moltissimo pepe. Tannico. Molto. Manca di freschezza e sapidità. Molto secco. Profumo intenso di spezie. Lo trovo particolarmente intenso di spezie e manca un po' di frutto. Cmq ottimo ! Carnale e ferrico.

Super tight at first. Opened nicely showing bright acidity and hints of red fruit with a touch earth and minerality
