  I brought this to our 2019 Barolo tasting as a bit of curveball. Incredibly dark and brooding. There was a tremendous amount of black cherry fruit and a tannic structure to suggest decades of aging potential. I loved this, I think these are a very compelling addition to the cellar as a Nebbiolo change of pace.

  Cooler fruited, with fleeting floral and spice notes. This is more subtle but not necessarily less complex on the nose than the Baroli. A pretty haunting nose. Midweighted fresh and floral on the plate, it is relatively more soil than fruit driven. Elegance relatively lithe. Effortlessly pretty with a weightless intensity and clarity that drinks like mineral water. On the back end, there are fine ripe tannins. Terrific

  Piemonte: Back to the truffling!; 11/24/2022-12/3/2022 (Wineries and various restaurants): Their flagship vineyard with a lovely view front the roof of the winery. This is 260-430 meters. 13 hectares. All facing S-SE which in Gattinara tends to lead to warmer climates (the SW face means more in shadow). Darker red fruits, can almost taste the volcanic rock in this. Very round and as it opens up it becomes more expressive but this is still quite young. Soft, very fine tannins. Drinks nicely. A wine to keep an eye out for.
