very light and bright garnet colour and light body. floral notes permeate the fragrant nose of cherry, blood orange peel, ripe tomato flesh, and gravelly soil. light bodied and brightly acidic in mouth, red fruits flavours that echo the nose glide over chalky and slightly woody but very pleasant tannic base. anise and pepper spice add complexity. very good length with a tomato note.
in its drinking window now and for another eight or so years.
13% AbV; from 50-100y.o. vines; three-month maceration, followed by eighteen months' ageing in 50HL casks; spends an additional twenty-four months in bottle before release.

Scarlet with rusty glints. Nose of red plum, faint tar, dense earth, dark violets. Layers of nimble but firmly-etched red plum, berry, hints of asphalt, and sweet earth on the palate. Fresh acidity and youthful, slightly dusty tannin. Longer finish of clear red fruit cut with iron and tar. Lovely wine showing beautifully at this early stage.

Showed plenty of typical Nebbiolo character with some leather, tar and floral notes on the nose. Showing more dried red fruit characteristics that keep this in a more delicate, pretty style. Well-liked by those around the table. Approachable at this stage.

Very good wine, easy drinking, very versatile. Buy a few bottles and open when in the mood.
