This is essentially a "Baby Barolo" (varietal is Nebiollo). Lots of red cherry and earthy/woody notes. 100% varietally correct and drinking well now, but we did decant 2 hours and it needed it. Second day what little was left tasted the same as the first day. At $21.49, this is what a value-priced fine Italian wine should be.

Lots of cherry on both the nose and the palate, along with some great earthy notes. This is what a good value Italian should taste like.

Very young and tannic. Muted fruits on the palate with leather and tobacco. Fine for dinner, but nothing special
