Usually the strong heavy wines are not among my favorites, but this sfursat, although 15% alcohol and a nose of leather, tobacco appears elegant and light in the mouth with long finish. 120 days dried Nebbiolo and a couple of years stored in barrel amd bottle, worth all its price.

crystal clear garnet colored. dried leathery, cherry aromas. some sweet and sour cherries with dusty tannins. Clearly not a style for everyone, but a unique wine that speaks of its place. Recommended as a nice example of this style

I was told fruit was dried 3 months to dessicate fruit. Nose of hints of fruit and chemical. Mouth-coating sour ripe fruit with lively acid, a smokey grip, and slightly drying tannins that continue into the medium length finish. Body medium, tannin medium plus, acid medium. Dry.

Verticale Bitto e Sfurzat Nino Negri (Canonica, Milano, Italy): Rubino con unghia granata. Naso ampio e complesso con terziarizzazione già iniziata. Naso di fiori secchi bellissima speziatura. Bocca di medio corpo ma potente con tannini morbidi e finale lungo e caldo, Bel vino elegante
50% affiniato 16 mesi in barrique e 50% affinato 20 mesi in botte grande

Cherry cola, cocoa tart, tart cranberry nose. Good tannins. Cherry palate.
