I bought a few bottles of this back in 2020 and I am drinking my last one tonight. It's pasta night so how can you go wrong. I would tend to agree with previous reviews that it did not drink well early on. There were funk and balance issues. It is a pretty wine in the glass. It is light, a bit floral, coming across with cherry, ripe red raspberry, even a hint of red licorice. The finish lingers, but is clean with cherry and mild tannins. I wish I would have given it more time as it has really come together and for the price I cannot find anything to complain about. I would drink this now and for another 5 years. I have other Rosso 16s and I have not touched any of them at this point, I think they will rest a while longer. Here's to great wine and food.

Starting to drink well now, that slight edginess has calmed down and in a good spot with very pretty flavors as you would expect from a nebbiolo wine. you can tell that 2016 is a good vintage, this has quite good depth, weight and intensity.

Ruby red in color. This is a beautifully balanced wine with just the right proportions of fruit and acidity, supported by smooth tannis. The palate is full of tar cherry, rose petals with hints of violet. The finish is quite long.

Nice tannin, very easy drinking nebbiolo. May improve, but is on the lighter side so likely short lived improvement.
