What a treat. I bought this from a wine shop in Assisi and had it shipped across the pond with some others. I read about needing to decant for a few hours but my curiosity overwhelmed my patience after 30 minutes and I wish I had waited. I save a glass for a few hours later and it was better, quite rich, lots of confusing tastes but good. It could also spend more time in the cellar.

Third and final bottle of this that was bought on some sort of close out deal years ago. While other bottles were rustic and awkward, this was a bit backward on the first day but a half bottle sat in the fridge overnight and on the second day it drank really well. So clearly this needs either 2-4 more years or a solid decant to reveal a very elegant wine very similar in quality to a Barbaresco with lovely fruit and a strong structure. The violet and roses was there but well integrated. lovely wine.

Very interesting bottle and wine. Comes out orange, has a bit of a port note to it. Very smooth drinking.

Beautiful tawny orange color as the wine had aged gracefully. The wine is showing very well now, glad I got to enjoy it at it's peak.
