  Liked it a lot although it is a bit of an unusual Nebbiolo. It is more "modern" in style than some other comparable wines, meaning it shows some riper fruit aromas and it is also a bit darker in color/mouthfeel. However, it is very well made: Lots of ripe fruit aromas, berries, cooked cherry etc. In the mouth it is very silky and the tannins are wonderfully integrated, almost smooth. Clearly a wine not for the hardcore traditionalist Barolo lovers but extremely good for easy drinking and serving to a broader party. They will love it. The bottle was empty in no time!

  Dark red for a Nebbiolo. Fruity and straight forward on the nose. Chewy and appealing, with plenty of oak. Modern style and unusual for a nebbiolo.
