  Popped and poured; enjoyed over three days and showed very well throughout. The 2012 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core and some browning towards the rim; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with secondary characteristics just starting to show themselves. Also, the solar nature of 2012 is showing through with loads of truffles and overripe and desiccated red and black fruits: tartufo bianco d’Alba, dried cherry, bruised raspberries, red roses, leather, Fig Newtons, dried herbs, and some dusty and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, drying and savory. I’ve been a vocal fan of the 2012 vintage of Produttori since release and this might be the best showing yet. This is my last 750mL. My remaining bottles are magnums and I’ll look forward to enjoying those over the next 10-15 years. No rush, but this is a fun time to drink these as the truffle character is starting to peak through.

  Popped and poured. Pure Nebbiolo fruit with good acidity. Plenty of time to go, in fact it still seems young and primary. Nose a bit faint. 5-11-16-8: 90/100.

  unfortunately totally oxidized and undrinkable - expect it was poorly stored before coming to my cellar

  Dekantert. Herlig nese, super til burger på angus. deretter litt motvillig, tanniner og syre mer fremtredende enn frukt. Men det går bra. Mulig fremtid, om frukt overlever.

  First of six in the cellar - it was surprisingly youthful and still fairly dense. I would give this a few more years to mellow out.
