  Nice, young Langhe Nebbiolo, with avg/avg+ complexity, and avg/avg+ freshness - more so in the context of this vintage. Medium-bodied, with rather bold flavors, and pretty floral, and red berry fruit notes. I liked this best at 90 minutes open. Great weeknight wine with a few solid years in front of it. recommended

  Color: really interesting: not garnet, rather ruby with some copper reflexes
  Nose: strawberry and cherry jam. Leather. Roses. Mountain herbs. Liquorice
  Palate: very lovely strong but not outrageous tannins and lively acidity. Strawberry and leather dominate, with lots of liquorice and rose
  Finish: medium and very balanced

  The grapes are sourced from a 2-hectare vineyard in La Morra averaging 15 years in age. Macerated for 15 days with the skins. Aged for a year in botti casks of different sizes. 14,5% alcohol.
  
  Very pale, luminous and fully translucent raspberry red color. Ripe but also surprisingly brooding nose with relatively little fruit; instead there are delicate aromas of gamey meat, juicy raspberries, some gravelly minerality, light smoky notes of tar, light floral tones and a hint of blood. The wine is dead-serious, moderately full-bodied and quite muscular on the palate with dry and rather robust flavors of gravelly minerality, some sour cherries, a little bit of crunchy redcurrants, light umami notes of bloody meat, a tart hint of lingonberry and a touch of tar. The wine is quite tightly-knit with its medium-to-moderately high acidity and rather grippy medium-plus tannins. The finish is dry, grippy and quite robust with long flavors of crunchy cranberries and astringent lingonberries, some sour cherry bitterness, light gravelly mineral tones, a little bit of smoke and tar, a hint of raw meat and a touch of savory wood spice. The high alcohol makes the wine end on a somewhat warm note.
  
  A robust, sinewy and dead-serious Langhe Nebbiolo from the more impressive end of the spectrum, coming across as more of a baby Barolo than a leftover Nebbiolo. Firmly structured with very dry overall character that does not really emphasize fruit as much as it does the savory non-fruit tones. It is not particularly complex this young and the alcohol is a bit on the high side, but its unapologetic, robust character feels very attractive to me and it definitely shows good potential for future development, so hopefully this'll become something even better with age.
