Delicious entry level Montforte Nebbiolo, just the right amount of tannin balanced by fruit and funk, this wine is alive and a joy with food, needs some air, beats many a langhe Nebbiolo at this level, it is honest wine and honestly brilliant.
Boutique production single vineyard Soave from the 2 ha “La Broia” vineyard that sits adjacent to the family home and winery. Naturally fermented in small cement vats where it’s aged along with some slavonian botti. Expressive exotic nose of peaches, grapefruit zest, plus citrus and minerals the lush palate leaning to white burgundy with silk, mineral grip and refreshing acidity. This is grown outside of the ‘Classico’ region so don’t be expecting a classic Soave style, this is a wine with its own character. Perfectly capable of ageing I’ve tried it at 8 years old and it was delight.

Very prone to oxidation- 2 x btls of a case opened side by side, both identical, both oxidised, stored since release in a temperature and humidity controlled cellar, a year ago it was looking great but has seemingly dropped off a cliff, avoid
