  The wine looks salmon colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like sherry. It tastes like butterscotch. The body is light/medium. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

  10/25/2021 - wineswithmuscles Likes this wine:

  A blend of fruit of Bricco di Treiso, San Stunet (San Stefanetto), Bongiovanni (out of the MGA zone in Treiso) and Rocche Massalupo. The 2018 is a very finessed and youthfully expressive wine, with a mid-weight body and a clear red fruited core with floral reflexes. Smooth tannins and a finely woven texture go hand in hand with the overt flavors of mixed red berries, fresh rose petal, heaps of dried flowers, spice and underlying road tar; a very classic Nebbiolo spectrum. This has both enough smoothness and freshness to to deliver a lot immediately. Aged for appr. 30 months in cask (French and Slavonian oak) and a small part in barriques.
