Paler ruby/brick color. Beautiful nose of red berries (cherries, strawberries), licorice, some tar and earth. On the palate there are sweet berries again, some leather, tar and spices. It's medium bodied and dense and combines a Pinot Noir flavor profile with a Piedmont structure of medium+ tannin and medium+ acidity. Long finish. A really amazing wine and probably the best Italian Pinot Noir I have had so far.

A very nice PN! Reddish brown, no rim. On the nose earthy tones, raspberry and red fruits. On the palate very earthy, mature aromas of leather and tobacco along with raspberrys. Fresh, nicely intergrated tannins with a medium, warm finnish. Maybe a little jammy, but overall a very nice vine!

Beautiful raspberry colour, but strawberry aromas: an attractive nose that hints at sweet fruit. Sweet palate - ripe, but not at all jammy - medium bodied but full of flavour. Very fine tannins. Quite long. Can't think of an Italian Pinot I have enjoyed more, except perhaps Franz Haas's over in Trentino-Alto-Adige - though that is in a different style, lighter and more ethereal compared to the sweet, luxurious fruitiness of this.
