Mid weight to the palate and nice dark cherry berry fruit. Elegant tannins. Higher altitude Nebbiolo?

Spring 2020. Compared to the Ca Morei, this was more elegant, with more tension and acidity, and perhaps a bit more freshness.

Unbelievably light and smooth for a young “Nebbiolo”, but of course this is “Chiavennasca” and we are in Lombardia, not the Langhe. Pretty cranberry and blackberry notes with a hint of of something herbal/vegetal.
