  Allready balanced and open.
  Nose of roses and red fruits. Very delicate taste. Mineral, fresh, red fruits. Drinks very easy but has enough weigth to go well with red meat with romanesco sauce. Long finish.
  Great QPR. Love this wine!

  Unmistakably a very good nebbiolo wine, with its typical characteristics of fruits like blood orange, cherry, (not too ripe) raspberry and even some juicy plum, and florals like roses and violets and plenty of tannins, but it is a bit modest and restrained. It is a very good barbaresco with even a touch of sweetness in the start with a hint of vanilla and then the fruity acidity with perfumed flavours and constantly present tannins, giving a solid structure and palate drying finish. All together these provide a good complexity. Somehow it is holding back in abundance and exuberance, pleasing probably many, but seemingly not going all the way in its potential. Really very good, but short of excellence.
  I should maybe add that for a price well below 25 euros one might be hard-pressed to find any better.

  I may just be flaunting my weak tasting skills (and when it come to young Nebbiolo they really are mediocre), but I don’t perceive the heavy oak. My bottle was completely impenetrable, so I recorked for 24 hours. On day 2, the nose shows a lot of cool red fruit and menthol, with a sort of earthy note in the background. Plenty of lifted fruit on the palate (and maybe a slight trace of VA), roses and other florals, iron, and a rather faint mocha note (oak-derived, maybe?). Lightish extraction with plenty of acid and barbaresco-typical tannins. I could see cellaring a couple of bottles.

  Round, rich in the middle with swaths of creamy oak. I can see where many will enjoy this style, it's approachable, has a med+ finish, and the price is right. 14,5% abv., drink now and the next 5-6 years. NR

  Very pure, fruity and balanced Barbaresco. Still firm tanins and acidity. Very open nose from the beginning. Mouthwatering wine with a long aftertaste. Allready good with food and will get better the next 8 years.
  One of the best Barbaresco's I know. Very well made.
  Grazie Elvio e Annalisa.
