Fair play, this is a pretty decent representation of a modest 'pranzo' nebbiolo. Perhaps showing a little fat/glycerin texture, but this matches rather well to some smoky tar-like bitterness and there is enough acidity to carry it. Light/fine tannins. Oak is noticeable, including a hint of vanilla on the finish, but not excessive.
Would I buy again? Maybe - perhaps most likely if spotted on a restaurant list. Would be interesting to try their other nebbiolo wine.

very pale pink colour What a nose! FLoral, fresh, cherry notes. So appealing! Quite firm tannins but there's juicy fruit and a lightness of touch to it. Perfumed. A little nuttiness on the finish. Doesn't taste quite as good as it smells. This is joyful now but has the tannin and acidity to age and perhaps take on more complexity
