  June 11, 2022 - A blend of Nebbiolo (90%) and Vespolina (10%) sourced from 45-90 yo vineyards in Lessona and Bramaterra, harvested in late September. Macerated with the skins for 8 hours, then aged for 5 months on the fine lees. Bottled in early March 2020. 13% alcohol, 5 g/l residual sugar, 6 g/l acidity and pH 3,31. Tasted blind.
  
  Pale onion-skin color. Quite restrained and slightly waxy nose with somewhat closed aromas of nectarine, some appley notes and a little bit of almond paste. The wine is juicy, balanced and somewhat round on the palate with a medium body and somewhat off-dry feel. There are dry-ish flavors of strawberries, some mealy yellow apple, a little bit of waxy richness, light cantaloupe notes and a hint of sweet almonds paste. High acidity and the tiniest tannic grip giving the mouthfeel some extra firmness. The medium-long finish is juicy, soft and very gently grippy with slightly off-dry flavors of peach, some ripe red apple, a little bit of almond, light cantaloupe notes and a hint of wild strawberry.
  
  A nice, juicy and easy little rosé. I was surprised by the sweetness of the taste; other people thought the rosé was just lovely, but to me, it seemed surprisingly sweet, almost off-dry - slightly distracting from the pleasure. Later on it turned out to be that the wine wasn't really off-dry, but at 5 g/l of residual sugar it wasn't bone-dry either. Fortunately the wine is high in acidity, so even though the sugar shows a tiny bit, the wine isn't lacking in freshness or balance. It is maybe a bit simple and lacking in intensity, but otherwise a nice little drop. Perhaps a bit pricey for the quality at 16€, though.

  June 5, 2022 - Consistent with my prior note. Subtle cran-cherry aromas, a bit of smoke and earth, rounded mid-palate with minerality on the finish. I liked this more for the texture and finish than the attack and aromas.
