Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - As a decades-long fan of the Produttori, I was hesitant, upon a very knowledgeable friend’s advice, to open up a 2014. However, given the insight from an Italian sommelier friend —that, due to the absence of storage in Italian cities for many new upscale wine drinkers, many good producers are now Vinifying their wines to be ready to drink at a young age— I decided to move forward. Coravin’d And then decanted half the bottle, started drinking 45 minutes later and tasted for another 45 minutes. Bottom line? It can be drunk and is well made, but is a different wine.The Spora is lighter than the Asili or Moccagatta, and provides some pleasure in its core tobacco, sweet cherry, smoke and orange hue.

So I guess we are all getting accustomed the new normals. While I am not one of the semi-necrophiliac Nebbiolo fans who glamorize oxidized wine with visions sf grandeur, I am a huge fan of aged Nebbiolo, and of the rich, leather.rose, tar, smoky wood, dark rich cherry and auburn and orange hues that circumscribe each glass. Perhaps one day, this wine will be that.
