Light ruby in color. Cherry, unripe strawberry, red currant, savory herbs on the nose. Dry, rustic medium plus grip, medium plus acid. A bit of mint and sage on the palate, with orange peel bitterness, like blood orange. There's some minerality to this as well. Reminds me of Valle d'Aosta. Good length on the crisp and dusty finish. Give this some time and the tannins should polish nicely. Great value for what's in this bottle.

A bit harsh initially, but opens up well. Light-med red. Med body. Pleasant acidity. Clearly Nebbiolo. Medium and pleasant finish. Good value.

The castle. Smells like classic Nebbiolo. And harvested by heliocopter. Tight and structured, a touch simple on the palate but there it is.

Smells like Nebbiolo and fresh fruit. Tart and tangy on the palate. So even though its got some Merlot in there is quite shows the Nebbiolo.
