  Minimal sediment, 100% Nebbiolo. Light ruby with significant age-appropriate bricking; medium intensity aromatics which need a bit of air to open, red fruit, forest mulch; palate is light bodied, high acidity, high but approachable tannin, elegant strawberry and red fruit, a bit of savory tamari; finish is medium length. A lovely Alto Piemonte with food. 90

  Un vin delicat et fin. Textbook nebbiolo avec ses petales de rose, leger goudron et cerise. Tannins fins, approche plus moderne avec une extraction légère et un vin beaucoup plus facile d'acces. Par contre, la finale n'est pas des plus longue. Beau potentiel sur 10 ans.

  4/1/2017 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

  { #TasteAltoPiemonte } 100% Nebbiolo from vines at the top of Prevostura vineyard. Sand/silt/clay soils in a 1Ha vineyard of low-density planting, this wine is fermented in stainless steel for ~30 days then moved to barrique/tonneau (various ages) for malolactic fermentation for 20 months; after, another 9 months minimum rest in bottle. <5000 bottles produced, sadly; this one is an ager, with plenty of structure and pitch-perfect fruit to see this another 20-25 years easily. Too young today to say much more about this, but the pedigree and purity here are quite obvious nonetheless. HOLD until 2021; highly recommended
