  Although I wasn't expecting the depth and complexity of a Barolo or Barbaresco, this scrawny Nebbiolo was a disappointment. There was a structural skeleton with little flesh on it. Tar notes are often an attractive component in Barolo but here they were dominant with a dash of quinine added in. Just drinkable. On this evidence Nebbiolo needs the best terroirs, but some, e.g. Sandrone, do much better than this outside the hallowed areas.

  Actually thought I was being poured a barbaresco, and upon tasting thought it was a middling/simple one, until learning it was actually just their basic nebbiolo and being rather impressed. For that price, it's a worthy wine, but nothing to get excited over.

  Some of the electric purple fruit on the nose, I normally associate with grenache based wines. Nice fruit, though really very little depth. Was told this is all barbaresco fruit, seemed a bit of a stretch to me. Maybe shorter time in oak, less time in the bottle? Simply tasted simple.
