Un nez totalement envoûtant ! Fruits mures, kirsch, violette, c'est ample en bouche, une belle richesse avec une acidité qui vient équilibrer le tout. Absolument délicieux en ce moment. Superbe Nebbiolo !

needs an hour in the decanter to fully come together. cherries, balsamic, tar, a touch of florals. mod+ acid and high tannin that worked out well with a prime filet. Drinking well now and should for a while. A decent qpr that checks all the barbaresco boxes for me

Nez discret au départ mais fort agréable. Avec l aération, il devient plus expressif. En bouche, c est souple, rond, moyennement corsé. Tout en équilibre. C est très bon, difficile d y résister.

Decanted 1/2 the bottle. Gassed then fridged the rest. Initial faint cherries and classic Nebbiolo with big rustic energy and delicious tannis. There was grip, big grip. I loved that rusticity and long finish of everychanging energy that fadded into dusty real tars. Yum! I guess the only downside is that it flabbed up pretty fast. For a 2015, this might be an indicator that it's not a celar keeper, but a drinker for now. I bought this from Rocco at Vino Enoteca during the lockdown, because I wanted to support this guy's biz. He only charged me $35: What a deal. He's got the best Italian food in Palo Alto, if not the Peninsula.
I came back to it on 29 Apr from the fridge. Its oak was evident, which turned me off. But it was delicious and a very good quality wine. After this time it didn't really taste too much like a classic Nebbiolo.
I will not buy again. But, glad I did buy to taste!
