August 3, 2021 - This is a really nicely made, honest wine. Nose shows the fruitier, more floral side of the grape with bright red cherry and strawberry and rose notes, hints of cigar/tobacco. palate nicely acidic, mineral, big fruit, some herbal tones, and a tad sweet, and not at all marred by oak. After reading about it, I better understand the goal, and I find it admirable, if not a typical example of Nebbiolo in the modern sense. It worked quite nicely with a spicy take on chicken cacciatore.
January 22, 2021 - A bit effervescent
March 29, 2020 - oxidized. not sure what happened here. bottle few months ago had no hints of going off but this is far gone.
November 2, 2019 - Very unique indeed. Frizzante, light, astingent, ripe berries, dried cherries. More like a farmhouse Piemonte red (ruche, freisa, etc) than a nebb. This one may be ever so slightly corked but I am not completely sure. There is some bottle funk for sure, but it may blow off. This is geek wine and will only please those with a sense of vinous adventure. No one makes a wine like this.
October 19, 2019 - DRROBVINO has this note spot on. It opens (and stays) a little fizzy, but it has an interesting profile and is not a run of the mill langhe Nebbiolo. Nice “experimental” wine that id place carefully with food and drinking companions.
October 15, 2019 - Slight spritz juicy time to drink up.
September 1, 2019 - Unconventional but thoroughly enjoyable, this is a lighter, more summery take on Nebbiolo.
Straight into the glass at cellar temperature, the nose is straight up cherry ice cream. With warmth and air, this settles into more of a cherry pie profile, lifted by notes of amaretto liqueur and subtle pine.
Though a gentle effervescence dissipates quickly, the wine remains fresh on the palate, keeping the body light-to-medium and brightening the fairly straightforward flavors of blackberry and plum skins. The tannins are light and well-integrated.
This is just as good at 55F as it is at room
temperature.
July 28, 2018 - Nice summer wine. Light, fruity, slightly effervescent.
April 13, 2018 - Same as before
April 4, 2018 - Very pretty, nice bright acidity and some tannin dancing on the back end. Wild strawberries, herbs and flowers galore, and starting to veer towards toasted hazelnuts. Very much a nebbiolo, but distinct. Paired with ribeye, love it!
