Drinking very well; from rose petals and spice on the nose emerge cherry, leather and anise on the palate. Never meant to be as 'heavy' as a Barolo might be, enjoy it for what it is...

Easy to drink (and like) Nebbi that's ready to go now. Florals on the nose with acids and berry fruit on the palate. Clean short finish. Drink at any point over the next few years.

Medium ruby with some garnet edges. Quite floral on the nose with lavender and roses as well as some black raspberries. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and body. Balanced acidity with some similarity to the nose with lots of minerality. Medium length finish. Drink now.

Bottle 11 of 12. Broke this out to drink with my Big Boy burger. Straightforward Nebbiolo, delicious fruit and earthy notes. Drink now through 2019 or so.

This is a decent wine for the price point. It has a nice nose with some earthiness upfront. It’s not very long in the mouth. I’m always looking for a $20-$25 wine to blow my socks off. This one is decent but not that.

PnP. Bottle 10 of 12. Super delicious, fruit-forward Nebbiolo from a producer I really like. Notes of bright cherry, some darker blackberry, tobacco and spice. Meant to be consumed on the earlier side, I will drink my remaining 2 bottles by the end of the year.

Delicious, straightforward Langhe Nebbiolo, enjoyed with pizza tonite. Red cherry fruits, some licorice and spice, and earthy notes, with some finely-grained tannins and nicely supporting acidity. Drink now through 2018+.

This was my third bottle of this and by far my favorite. Surprised to realize that this was a 2013 and not a 2012 like the other two. This is not complex, but perfectly appropriate Nebbiolo and great for weeknight drinking. Would by the 2013 again, probably not the 2012.

A light palate friendly ready to go Nebbiolo that's drinking very nicely right now. Compare this to the 2012 Giovanni Sordo Barolo for about the same price (aprox +/- $20 if you shop carefully) I had recently and NO COMPARISON.

Delicious pizza wine, nicely balanced, refreshing acidity, medium finish with black and red berry fruit and some leather. Nice. Drink now through 2018+.

Nice bottle but nothing big to write home about. If opened for a few hours provides a little more depth than initially. Nose is very light with a wiff of classic nebbiolo fruit. Palate is light, with some red cherry note and some minerality and acidity. A hint of tannins.

This wine is so yummy, showing off earthy notes like tobacco, alongside tart red fruits. Is drinking beautifully now, will continue for another 2+ years, but why wait?

This is so interesting for a base nebbiolo that my score represents a big surprise factor and qpr. Great nose with violets and cherry. A fascinating combination of earth and spice notes on the palate that I cannot pinpoint. Fruit is perhaps a mix of cherry and red plum. Great balance, easy drinking, yet strong enough for our meatballs and red sauce. I loved this at a restaurant and loved it at home. Will look for more.

Great value at $19. Fair amount of cherry on the nose and palate. Very smooth. I didn't appreciate as much of the bright acidity as others have noted. Fantastic weeknight bottle, particularly at this price point. Have a couple more bottles of this and think it would pair great with food.

Tried this first bottle of 2013 (ordered the 2012 from Garagiste but they pulled the old switcheroo). This was a pleasant bottle, with some faint tobacco and asphalt on the red-cherry-infused nose. Very light on it's feet, and easy to drink. The tannins are still present, enough to give interesting structure, alongside the refreshing and energetic acidity. Tart, red cherry pit is joined by a hint of plum, followed by some rocks and tobacco. Very tasty, I would consume these bottles through 2018 or so. Quite nice.

Light & nearly transparent color. Even lighter on the palette. Notes of dried herbs and cedar with a bright finish of cherries. Short finish with flavors of cherry and cedar wood.
