  Verbania, Suna, Italy - Colour is somewhat evolved, bricking. This is is misleading as both nose and palate are mostly primary still. Colour is quite dark for 100% Nebbiolo. 14% ABV...Does not drink hot per se but hey i was expecting less from later ripening region north of Langhe. Lots of freshness and balance though. Wild berries on the nose. On the palte i find there is a cool fruit carrying everything else over and persistent on the finish. Some cool and brambly cassis. There is power and freshness in this as well as good complexity. Northernmost Nebbs are definitely worth watching

  Double decanted around noon and taken to a tasting dinner. Bright translucent medium garnet, little sediment. Nose has wafting florals from the first pour into the decanter. Then cherry and spice notes. Palate is very bright with acidity and still quite firm in tannin. Palate unfolds with layers of reposes, red cherry, spice, and mineral sensations. Finish is long and luxurious. Still a relative baby it seems to me. Beautiful balance. I’m sure it will improve with more air.

  Starting to drink quite well. Fruit is getting the burnish only age can bring. While it is full bodied, the wine still a pretty elegant, woth soft contours, and the alcohol is integrated. Very nice.

  So much floral...dried roses, dried tree bark. Just a very dusty nose overall. Some cola, or Dr Pepper even. Medium body, still good acidity. This is something you could pour for a Pinot lover and convince them it's a Pinot's more interesting cousin. But it's not. It's a Nebiolo, from Italy. And it's certainly more Old World than new. A few more good years ahead of it, but in a nice drinking window now for sure.
