  Slim on the fruit to the nose, but nice palate and finish. Drink now!

  Weak fruit but good with pizza. Almost drank the entire bottle in one sitting.

  This wine has opened up very nicely since I last tasted it in February 2013. It now shows good fruit, with only very slight tannin. It also opened up more after 20 to 30 minutes.

  Translucent dark ruby color typical of Nebbiolo. Very aromatic and attractive nose of sweet cherry, dried flowers, menthol tobacco, some peppery spice, a little bit of brooding oak, a hint of sweeter, plummy fruit and a whiff of leather. Quite light, acid-driven and moderately tannic palate; however, the mouthfeel is surprisingly smooth and gentle. There are flavors of savory cherry fruit, tart cranberry juice, some smoke, a little peppery spice and a hint of minerality on the palate. With air the wine gains a bit more prominent oak tones. Overall the wine is rather easily approachable with good, but not overtly tight structure. The finish is short-to-medium long with acid-driven flavors of redcurrant, sour cherry and hints of gravelly minerality.
  
  A tasty, balanced and enjoyable everyday Nebbiolo that shows nice varietal characteristics but is nothing special to write home about. A generic little Nebbi that is meant to be drunk young, not to be aged. Not a challenger for Baroli or Barbareschi. Drink within 5-6 years. Priced accordingly at 11,99€.
