The wine is not reviewed well. I do not think that it is as bad as the aggregate score and various notes. I drank this by the bottle with dinner at Storico Fresco Alimentari for $70. I actually tried to order the premier Nebbiolo on the wine list for $114, and I did not object when this was delivered instead. As fully expected, the wine was solid with food. My guests really enjoyed the introduction to Nebbiolo. Produttori in my experience is a strong value and highly consistent. The inexpensive labels are not complex. This was not an outlier from my previous sample, maybe a couple of dozen bottles. Slightly effervescent. Earth. Minerals. Fruit. Mushrooms. Cherry. Good for entertaining. Did not break the bank. Would buy again, absolutely no question. Is it Gaja? No. Is it worth drinking? Undoubtedly, yes. Cin cin.

Tynntynn, ingen lukt, litt lakrids, lett bitterhet, smakar svag saft. Medium balansert (tråkig), lite komplex, medium lengde, lav intensitet. Kanskje blir bättee med 15år i källaren. Ingen favvo.

Really lovely translucent colour, a light red that positively glows. The nose is the best part here, exactly what you would want, florally fragrant, red fruit, rocks. This is as good as it gets though, as whilst the tannins are much lighter than you would think the wine is noticeably hot and has that plummy core that I associate with solar year grenache. Now this could be an off bottle, or it could be that I am simply opening this too young, however if this is an expression of the growing season then I am not a fan.

Bottle 1312g. Aromas of elevated intensity, earth and spice, dried berries, hard candy, acetate. Dry, with elevated edgy acidity, moderate to elevated drying tannins, medium to full-bodied, 14% abv. Less fruit than expected. A bit mean. May improve with exposure to air or a little bottle age.

Notes of cherries, roses, lead pencil and a light green stem note. Acidity is medium and tannins are medium/medium-plus. Body is medium-light. Overall, it’s a pleasant daily drinking Nebbiolo.

Interesting. It has a strong green, green fruity, vegetal nose that overpowers most of the fruit. This recedes on the palate and some more of the true fruit is able to shine. Built like a tank — tasted fine two weeks after opening. If it had less of the vegetal character, this would be a great buy.

Restaurant purchase. Deep ruby hinting purple. Smells like dark red, blue, and black fruits, some nice violet floral, and a little graphite and crushed rocks minerality. Medium body and finish, medium (+) acid, and flavors of black cherry, plum, orange, black tea, lemon, spice, and minerals. Tannins are low and soft, and this is very approachable in its youth, kinda makes me think of a Langhe rosso vs. pure nebbiolo. Perfect with our pizza today nonetheless.

Great. Juicy black fruits, raspberry, dark cherry. Pure. Soft tannins. Good acidity.
