The sleeper find of the year for me. My first experience with this producer and bought on a whim at the wine monopoly in Norway. A pale prune color with a watery rim. The aromas here are very well defined and segmented. A dizzying array of sweet rose, crushed dried flowers, spice box with an herbal tilt, cherry juice, and orange peels. Intoxicating for such a young wine. A complex and multi layered palate showing crushed rose, violets, tar, tart cherry, pencil shaving with a deep finish of anise and camphor. Very enticing, muscular, perhaps over powering for some. I agree with other this shows the true potential of young Nebbiolo. The scale of complexity is only matched in burgundy. Only bottle I kind find.

Piemonte: Back to the truffling!; 11/24/2022-12/3/2022 (Wineries and various restaurants): So this takes a bit more time and while I have loved most all of the versions of this wine I’ve had on this trip (it’s been my replacement Roagna because Luca never writes us back and this has a lot of elegance). I can’t wait for the visit. This wine needed more time than some other years, but still you can tell he managed the heat very well and with that extra time this softens and is beautiful. We meet him tomorrow but already I am a fan of the wine we’ve tried.

Dekantert. Oser av potensialt velvære ved åpning. Og innfrir, selv om den nok er noe ung. En herlig nebbiolo.

Kräftiger Barbaresco mit viel Potenzial.
Aber noch zu jung. 3-5+ Jahre warten.
