Nebbiolo, Croatina and Vespolina. Beautifully pure red and dried cherry fruit, wet earth and huge volcanic minerality. The palate is sappy, concentrated and intensely tangy, with a surprisingly opulent mid-palate before the wine grips down hard. Terrific texture and energy, though the tannins remain gritty rather than refined. A vivid, characterful Alto Piemonte red and a killer value in a future tariff-free universe.
