The nose is fresh and fragrant with tones of peaches, lemon peels, green apples, white fruits, saline, white flowers, and some fresh limes. While this shows off good freshness, it does lack some depth and complexity. The Medium bodied feel carries through the freshness of the nose along with crisp, medium+ acidity that shows off some lovely cut. This is a fun Langhe Bianco that is fresh and easy drinking.
The nose is fresh and higher-toned with youthful tones of strawberries, bright red cherries, crushed berries, sweet tobacco, roasted herbs, rose petals, violets, and some crushed rocks. There is excellent complexity right now, but there is also noticeable youth as the tones aren’t working fully together in harmony just yet. The Medium/full bodied feel is balanced and fresh with tart, high acidity as well as chewy, high tannins. This is clearly youthful and will benefit from aging. I can see this kicking into another gear with another 4+ years of aging.
The nose is wound a bit tight, but with some power and balance to the tones of dark red cherries, raspberries, sour red fruits, licorice, cigar wrapper, morning dew, crushed rocks, and roasted herbs. This shows off more bass notes while still holding back a touch. The Full bodied feel is brawny and balanced with tart, high acidity and chewy, high tannins. This is clearly youthful and in need of aging. This has a good ways to go before it fully shows itself, but it should be fantastic when it does.
The nose is clearly youthful, but with excellent depth and style already as it fills up the glass with tones of red cherries, strawberries, freshly picked raspberries, wet clay notes, licorice, leather, sweet tobacco, savory notes, herbal spices, and a good amount of rose petals. This is just wonderful and you want to take in each moment. The Full bodied feel is youthful, vibrant, deep, and balanced with tart, high acidity and chewy, high tannins. This is clearly a baby and in need of a fair bit of aging. What’s there right now though is fantastic and shows off where this will head.

This is yet again a knockout. At least it’s nice to see that it’s still awesome when I’m not bathed in the moment of visiting them.
