September 26, 2014 - 65 day maceration, 4 1/2 years in barrel. More of that piney quality, and plenty of oak...but it works, it's a part of the whole. The nose on this is incredible. Steamed edamame? I don't know, but I like it.

You mentioned the nose of Silvanos wines which always is incredible...
Well, we know Silvano now for 10 years more or less and we visit his vinery almost once a year. He became something similar to a friend during all these years.
What I can tell you about his wines and their aging potential is that the wines never are or will become blockbusters, they are very burgundian in terms of body and extraction. But the nose is incredible and nothing compares to them. With some more years of aging this nose becomes even more intensive and develops a character which is unique in Piemonte.
So, if you have the chance to buy some of these I would reccomend to do so, leave them alone somewhere in your cellar for 5-8 years and you won't regret!
Kind regards from Zurich, Edgar
PS: try also the Barbera, it is on Piemont's top level and a steal!
