  Refined & elegant on both aromatics & palate, rich, fine tannins, so easy to drink, crowd favourite

  A surprising amount of bricking or color disintegration at this young age. It comes across as very young with a traditional Barbera fruit profile but it was disjointed and tannins with too many rough edges. Not sure this wine will ever sniff 90 points. I'll stick with their Barolos.

  A VERY ripe and rich style here for sure, very warm with dense cherry liqueur and whatnot, but really delicious and it feels deliberate and balanced. It's also just so forward and expressive, charging right out of the gate right on the pop and pour. Little touches of leather and earth, but 90% about that sun baked cherry. Almost felt like a mini Brunello in that way.
