A more austere, shy wine than the Fontechiara Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2015 tasted last week.... On nose: dried roses and faint herbs. On palate: follow through of the above flavours, in addition to bracing acidity, cranberry, minerals, rosemary, and a pleasantly bitter ghost of white grapefruit pith on the finish.....a lean , tensile food wine, that can use another 3 years in cellar.....Ratti's wines require patience and bottle age to shine....a 1985 Barolo from this producer was still youthful when sampled in 2019, but well rounded and ready.....

Tasty. Not amazing though. Slightly heavy for an italian red

Pontifax's note below is spot on. I suggest taking his/her advice and waiting a couple of years for this wine.

My feeling is that this wine was better earlier. Huge amount of deposit. Drink now
