Fragrant and elegant, this opens with a textbook Nebbiolo bouquet showing scents of tilled soil, rose, wild red berry, Alpine herb and a whiff of new leather. The taut, vibrant palate evokes sour cherry, juicy strawberry, licorice and clove framed in refined tannins and bright acidity. It's balanced and gorgeous...
Rich and silky, boasting cherry, strawberry, mineral, tobacco and spice flavors. Impeccably balanced, even with the firm line of tannins lingering on the finish. The acidity is vibrant, energetically driving the fruit, underbrush and mineral flavors.
Brooding, complex nose with minerally hints and opens up to become even more complex. Slow and deep and concentrated on the palate. Still very youthful but perfectly balanced and with refreshing acidity and gorgeous chewy tannins, flexing its muscles on the finish.
