Surprisingly dark color for a Nebbiolo. More towards medium intensity, ruby colored than the usual pale and almost garnet color.
The nose follows the same manner as the color indicated. Much darker and more dense fruit than your average Nebbiolo with dark cherry and plum. Sweet licorice, some gloomy leather and tobacco notes as well.
Leaning towards full bodied with smooth tannins and high acidity. Succulent, fruity mouthfeel and rather generous with the ripe dark fruits. Very good intensity and persistence to the flavors but overall this is a quite atypical Nebbiolo but still a very good and tasty wine. Probably would have pin-pointed this as a Barbera thanks to the dark fruit, smooth tannins and piercing acidity.

Perfume and dark fruit on the nose. Dark ripe cherries on the palette together with some leather. Medium- body medium- acidity. Didn't like this as much as my first bottle. It lack some structure and like my Nebbiolo with more red fruit and character.

Perfumed, darkfruity nose with some alcohol heat. Medium body, nice acidity and some tannins in the background. Dark cherries and earth on the palette. Really liked it and I think it's on top right now.
