“Piedmont’s answer to Beaujolais nouveau”, drinking nicely now after three years. Plummy characters from Dolcetto and bright red cherries presumably from barbera carry through. Licorice, sage, and thyme. Some organic earthy funk. Bright acidity and medium plus coarse tannins. Medium plus body.

Fresh and medium bodied with nice acid fruit, some leather, and light tar. Not very tannic, super drinkable, and a bargain for 1 liter. From Good Wines.

Vibrant acidity, hint of strawberry/plum notable spice, black pepper finish with notes of leather and Tabasco. Mouth-watering wine :) go with lamb meatballs!
