This 2015 Spanna was a delight, showing a decidedly softer and more fruit-driven personality- delicate floral layers and a bit of licorice and fennel to be found here as well. I'm having fun reading reviews of very old vintages, and this is certainly one I will revisit. Available for as little as $18, this is a wonderful value play.

The 2015 Spanna is another gorgeous value-priced wine in this range. Bright floral notes and sweet red berry fruit give the 2015 freshness and airiness to match its restrained light-bodied personality. Gracious and ethereal, Vallana's Spanna is a great introduction to the Vallana wines. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, April 2020)

The house go-to Nebbiolo (thanks for the intro our friends at Colonie, Brooklyn). Bright cherry fruit, earthy, with tobacco notes. Sublime.

The fruit is pure and ripe but shallow while the aroma is not clean and too simple.

Clear red fruit, good concentration, , a bit of rusticity with the tannin. Nice bottle

Medium+ bodied. Thick, velvety-tannin extravaganza, mellow acid. Lots of tar and dried flower, iron, rubber, damp earth, cranberry, some oak. Another good one from this vineyard—had the Campi Raudii 2007 a few weeks prior. NY Times 20 under $20 list, 2018. From Flatiron Wines.

Excellent cheap Nebbiolo, and one of the best values I have had. Excellent cranberry fruitiness and perfect with pizza. Cherry flavor and nose. One cannot do better in red wine for under $15.
