Everything one would expect from a good Barbaresco with the addition of green herbs & spices, sage, and fennel. This surprisingly fresh and elegant youngster made our evening. Had with grilled salmon!

This is like the Beaujolais of Nebbiolos I've had. Clear, day bright, medium- viscosity, no sediment. Ruby color with a bricking to orange rim, medium concentration.
Nose: the wine is so reductive and fruit forward its unique. Very serious deep strawberry notes. Stewed strawberries, overripe strawberry and cherries. White and red rose petals. Fresh and dried. This wine didnt see a ton of oak seemingly. Some light barnyardy earthiness. Light leather and fennel seed notes.
Palate: medium bodied, ripe red cherries, cherry skin and pits, strawberries, even slightly jammy. Licorice and white flowers, leather and some clove like spice to it. Maybe some cedar, hard to distinguish. Med+ acid, high tannins, medium finish. Lovely wine for the price point.

Tons of licorice! High acid and tannin. I need to find the perfect pairing for this.

Starts gummy opens up with air. Not a good as the good barbaresco but a decent wine.
