Bright cherry deliciousness. Nice bitter component to the balance.

Lovely albeit relatively high-end Nebbiolo. Slightly less smoky than our tasting pair, the Oddero Langhe. Also, much more typical cherry rhubarb grip, and for some, this could pass as a Cru Barolo. Will buy again.

Beautifully plush for not such a great vintage. So easy to drink.

Piemonte all the way. Cherry and leather and herbs and grip. Surprisingly open and ready to go.

Good entry level from an underrated, old school producer.

Delicate and subtle, yet full of flavor and life. Soy sauce and fresh herbs, with a hint of grip. Price point for a wine like this is tough to beat.

Needs some time but damn I love this producer. At all levels they turn out killer traditional Piemontese wines
