Always interesting to enjoy different treatment of Nebbiolo from this pretty river valley in the mountains above Lake Como. This bottle quite sound despite advancing age. Cork barely stained. Poured out transparent dark red, very pretty color in the light. Forest aromas. Medium body, persistent fruit. Good acidity and integrated tannin. Bodes well for remaining bottles.

Cork lightly tinged just on the bottom. Deep purple. Savory aromas. Not so much fruit as to override the still dusty tannins, but enough to be complemented by the good level of acidity. Perhaps not my favorite sfursat, but always gives some pleasure.

These wines don't seem to impress me as much now as when I tasted and then bought them, but they're still fun. Has that ripe fruit character you'd expect. Wish I remembered more but it was at the end of a long tasting.

Pretty good on pop and pour, but really good on the second day. Rustic berry richness, but still light on its feet, laced with tobacco and smoke. Showed less of a dried fruit profile than past bottles. Lovely with rack of lamb.

Granato di media compattezza. Al naso ciliegia, rosa appassita, goudron, pepe nero, menta, note ematiche. Bocca piena, alcolica, piuttosto fresca e sapida a garantire un notevole equilibrio
