Plummy, earthy nose doesn’t show much. But the palate is expansive and rich, with classic earthy Novarese Nebbiolo flavors. Great with polenta and meat sauce.

Still youthfully primary at 6 years old. Loads of rich, ripe dark cherry fruit, crushed rock-laced gravel, and sweet Indian spices. Full and mouthfilling, with nice purity of ripe, macerated cherry fruit. Nice acids and youthful but soft tannins. Great now with a tagliatelle in a rich meat sauce, but will improve for up to 5 more years.
