  Still bright with Nebbiolo characteristics but I had to look up the varietal blend as I couldn’t place the rest. Lovely light and fresh with just the right amount of grip.

  Very similar to my last taste greater than 2 years ago. Medium garnet, cherries and earth on the nose and palate with a rich, juicy core. Great acidity frames this most enjoyable wine. Good showing for Le Piane's most affordable wine. Wish I had more of this!

  funky nose - VA, leather, spice, stewed fruit
  light body, some tannin and a bit more funk. Cherry fruit. Def. volatile tang and some farmyard
  Still very drinkable: alive and moreish.
  Nebbiolo plus Croatina and some other grapes

  Color is medium garnet to the rim. Nose shows cherries, earth, and spice.On the palate, dark cherries meet still-present acidity and a sanguine note. Tannins present but not obtrusive. Juicy and enjoyable.

  12.5% abv. Ruby, looks unfiltered. The Nebbiolo in the blend still comes through on the nose with tart raspberries and roses, but the blend and winemaking (shorter maceration, fermentation in stainless steel) has resulted in a lighter/rounder/fresher wine, very enjoyable young.
