    August 3, 2021 - This is a really nicely made, honest wine. Nose shows the fruitier, more floral side of the grape with bright red cherry and strawberry and rose notes, hints of cigar/tobacco. palate nicely acidic, mineral, big fruit, some herbal tones, and a tad sweet, and not at all marred by oak. After reading about it, I better understand the goal, and I find it admirable, if not a typical example of Nebbiolo in the modern sense. It worked quite nicely with a spicy take on chicken cacciatore.

    November 2, 2019 - Very unique indeed. Frizzante, light, astingent, ripe berries, dried cherries. More like a farmhouse Piemonte red (ruche, freisa, etc) than a nebb. This one may be ever so slightly corked but I am not completely sure. There is some bottle funk for sure, but it may blow off. This is geek wine and will only please those with a sense of vinous adventure. No one makes a wine like this.

    October 19, 2019 - DRROBVINO has this note spot on. It opens (and stays) a little fizzy, but it has an interesting profile and is not a run of the mill langhe Nebbiolo. Nice “experimental” wine that id place carefully with food and drinking companions.
