Definitely young for this producer, but WOW. Absolutely beautiful. I dont think I've had a wine taste so much like rose water and hibiscus. Plenty fresh raspberry and red apple skin tones on the palate.. feels a little Burgundian, but definitely Piedmont Nebbiolo. This is a complex wine from arguably the best wine producer in the region that keeps developing as it sits in the decanter. Buy a case and lay down for a few years. Worth every penny.

Solid, if still unyielding on the finish. On the nose: violets, blood orange, roses, then some nice hi-toned va gloss. On the palate: excellent acidity, sour cherry, blood orange, soft herbal notes, then the tannin kicks in, and it is dense...very juicy on the slightly hot finish. Good with our white bean stew.

Гранат. Интенсивность средняя плюс, красные уваренные, малина и клубника, смола, сладкие специи, шиповник, медленно начинающийся подлесок. Сухое, кислостность средняя плюс, танины суховатые и средние, тело среднее минус.
