  This is drinking so nicely! Really opened up after about an hour. Excellent basic Nebbiolo.

  Decanted. Lots of tannins out of the gate. 30 minutes of decanting and it opens up quite nicely.
  
  Some light violet early on in the nose.

  Pretty nice, although young.
  Ample fruit, good depth, nice acidity. Made with confidence.
  Should get better for quite a few years still.
  Today between 87-88 ponts, I'd expect in a year's time it will be a solid 88 and in 2-3 years maybe even 89.
  
  19 EUR is clearly too much for what it is though.

  Ho un debole per questo nebbiolo. Lo ammetto. Lo trovo davvero equilibrato e profumato, con un tannino molto ben lavorato.
  La prima cosa che si sente portandolo al naso è la viola. Poi tutto il resto. Ma il bouquet floreale è davvero piacevole. Che rimane anche al gusto dopo il sorso. Poco o niente legno (piccole parti in botte neutre di rovere e solo se necessario, probabilmente per domare il tannino). Ma non se ne sente la mancanza.
  Buono, buono.
  Preso direttamente in cantina dove la padrona ti accoglie con estrema gentilezza.

  Rather firm at the moment. 2019 is a classic and structured vintage, and even this wine, which is normally quite giving even young, is progressing quite slowly. Both 2020 and 2021 are more open than this, with each being a more fruit-forward vintage and 2020 quite solar indeed. Of the three, I believe 2019 will be most to my liking, but it's certainly a vintage which will require time and patience, based on showings of the little wines like this one.
