Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Light Ruby with aromas of red berry fruit, earthy notes and hints of violets for this 100% Nebbiolo. On the palate flavors of sour cherry, leather, oak and earthy herbs. Fine tannins, a bit grippy when the bottle was first opened, long finish ending with fruit, mineral and earthy oak. Nice, will continue to age, great value!!

A little big edgy with typical Nebbiolo's characteristics. Alcohol well integrated. Powerful and straightforward. Changes in the glass. Very interesting.

Light garnet, the glass is see through. Concentrated crushed flowers, dried violets. Warm, savory red and purple fruits. Michelin restaurant lamb with white honey, three different Roman pastas, pure excellence.

May 2023: PnP, 10 min in glass and then singing, good balance and minerality, a bit softer than classic Barbaresco, very nice
