  Good, solid, pure nebbiolo, but not as much depth and complexity as the Starderi of the same vintage.

  Dinner at La Spinetta, 2006 horizontal. Gallina vineyard has sandy soils that gives the wine a smooth feeling. Oak, liqueur cherries, dark fruit, tar, earth and some smoky notes. Mature and warm mouthfeel, meaty, still high on tannins. To much oak for me, covers the fruit and sense of terroir.

  Took to dinner at La Lucia in Alexandria Va. GREAT food, Highly Recommend!!!!!
  
  Wine went perfect. Color was purple to the rim with medium legs. The wine was balanced and structure with good acidity and resolved tannins. Fruit reflective of nice dark/black cherries. Sorry I don't have more but was at dinner loving food and wine and trying not to ignore my beautiful wife to take notes. Hope you understand.
