Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Last tried 3 years ago. Established in the early 1950s, producing and selling only grapes and just a few years ago began aging and bottling its own wines. Giampaolo Pira recently took the reins. Ruby, brown edges, with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spices. 100% Nebbiolo, flavors of ripe cherry and plum emerge, smooth, with pepper spice on good structure. Fine soft tannins, balanced acidity on long finish ending with earthy mineral notes, drink now.

It’s taken 4 hours but is open now and really good. Bright red fruit, cedar, leather, tobacco, with drying tannins and good acidity. Really excellent.
