December 31, 2023 - This was well past its prime a/o a poor cork. I enjoyed the better part of a case of this during some months in the tiny village of Castagnole as this was released - loved all of them. That said, I prefer these wines w/in three/four years of release, as a rule. Positive exceptions are always welcome!
I've always loved his (now their, as his son has since taken the reigns) Grignolino, too.1 person found this helpful Comment -

September 21, 2019 - Red berries and floral aromas. Nothing fancy but fun nonetheless. 15% alcohol. Yummy.

November 24, 2018 - Raspberry, aniseed, dried flowers. Open knit tannins, slightly coarse but suits the style of wine. Plays to the beat of it’s own drum. I like that.

August 29, 2018 - The nose showed exotic dried florals, with crushed ripe raspberry, dusty sweet spices, hints of orange zest, a savory herbal tinge and stoney-minerality. On the palate, I found a wine of contrasts, showing soft textures, offset but tart red berry fruit and perfectly balanced with juicy acidity yet leaving a coating of dry fruit extract. Notes of spicy clove, cinnamon and inner violet floral tones filled the senses, leading into a long and dramatic finish with gentle tannin, lingering spiced raspberry fruit and florals. Color me impressed.

August 5, 2018 - I enjoyed this wine. As David said, it is uncomplicated, but tasty. Fruity, dark cherry, soft but there is some fine tannin as well. There is something here that reminds me of Cru Beaujolais.
