One of the few rose wines I adore. 100% Nebbiolo from Valtellina. Nose is light but vivid cherry and some tobacco and tar. Gorgeous clarity. So much energy and precision and so so juicy. What a wine. Amazing length. Now after air the fruit is sweeter and the nose is so floral. This is elite. 9.3 to 9.4 — 7 months ago
When initially opened, it was tight and I was hit in the face with tannin and acidity; obviously too young, decanted 1.5 hours and opened with aromas of licorice, anise, dried red flowers, tar, red berries. Palate evolved over 2.5 hours. Licorice, dried strawberry, forest floor, cranberry; still high acidity and tannin. Excellent wine, and has that sweet fruit profile absent of any residual sugar, which is always fascinating to me; blows lots of 60 dollar Barolo and barbaresco out of the water; I would let rest until at least 2027, and at that point I would expect a stunner. @Lyle Fass — 3 days ago
Savi Beach 12/27/24 dinner. Fabulous smooth rich red slightly chilled. $105 (least expensive) Alessandro mgr loves it. J lamb chops. Mf yellowtail catch of day — 4 months ago
Reddish in color with medium intensity.
Strong fruity nose and medium in body, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, light wood, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, chocolates and earth.
Medium finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a very young Barolo from Piedmont. Elegant and powerful.
This Single Vineyard Nebbiolo is already drinking very nicely, and better with food.
A good quality wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 32 months.

Great wine for a hearty Italian dish that features meat and red sauce. — 8 months ago
The nose is textbook nebbiolo with cherry, sour cherry, tar, almond, hay, tobacco leaves, black tea and roasted pork shoulder juice 😀. The palate is rather big and bold with a strong acid drive, a dry palate through and through, some impressive width, cherry, tea and that savoury note reminiscent of the pork shoulder juice note I found on the nose. The mouthfeel is first soft and nice, with almost a sweeter touch, before a great tannic walls comes and disrupts the entire feel and triggers a rather long finish with tea, cherry, tobacco touches and again that savoury pork note. It's a lovely, not so complex nebbiolo but really well made and offering pleasure by itself or alongside dinner (we had it along chicken gizzard stew and it worked super well). — 22 days ago

This is a delicious Barolo from Piedmont. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel.
This Single Vineyard is still very young, but already enjoyable even by itself as a sipping wine. Elegant and robust at the same time.
Very approachable now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Will also pair very nicely with food.
