My first single vineyard from Produttori. I didn’t get the apparent floral/rose notes as all the other tasting notes indicate. What was more obvious to me were chocolate, licorice, and tar notes mixed with red fruit. Great balance paired with a long finish. Drinking well right now on pop and pour.

Brown-tinted red and clear. Lovely complex bouquet, classic Nebbiolo with rose petals emerging after a few hours of air. Plush mouthfeel with crisp, long finish.
I can't help but think so many people would think this isn't a "great" wine, but it was great. Really, really fun. One of those wines that has everyone at the table getting a kick out of it. Super cool.

Dinner at Home, Mill Valley, CA. From 750ml purchased on release. Decanted and returned to bottle mid-afternoon.
Fantastically fresh, vivid and transparent. Crazily engaging and satisfying nose. Surprisingly sweet youthful fruit on the palate, complicated by strong pulses of minerality and classic tar and floral rose notes. Surprisingly large scaled, but not heavy or tiring. Could use more detail on the finish, but I'd bet that will come with more time. Thoroughly enjoyable, even when finishing the glass after dinner without food. In its early window of approachability.

Lovely middle aged barbaresco. Really lifted rose perfume nose, much more about roses than tar and no oak tones to dull the experience. Palate is quite Burgundian , lovely mellow tannins , still red fruited and excellent length. Drinking beautifully now but not sure it’s got the structure to improve with further age.
