  Consistent with previous bottles. Really solid wine in most vintages.

  Belle robe Nebbiolo. Un nez intéressant d'anis, réglisse, goudron et d'autres épices. En bouche le liquide est légèrement âcre avec une touche d'umami. C'est tout de même assez facile.

  Will benefit from some additional cellaring but is drinking great now. Nebbiolo character abounds. Light in color but with a deep floral nose and spicy red fruited taste profile. Roses, ferfume, tar and earth all present. Maybe a little tomato leaf too?

  A touch closed upon initial pop and pour but opened up after about 30-45 minutes. Otherwise consistent with previous bottle and shows bright red fruit and floral and baking spice notes with high acidity.

  When live hands you a pile of black trumpet mushrooms, it’s not a terrible idea to make some black trumpet risotto. And what to pair? How ‘bout a fine alpine Nebbiolo blend? The 2018 Proprietà Sperino Uvaggio certainly fits the bill. The robe robe straddles the border of garnet verging on ruby. The nose offers waves of tar and violet, with plenty of cherry Chapstick (with a hat tip to Yo La Tengo) and crushed woody herbs. There’s fine energy and a bit of sweaty game character, to go the the fine, fine, finer still grainy soil notes and powdery tannins. Nice acidity and enough umami character to inspire opening an Udon cart. Really stellar pairing, though a couple more years in the bottle may offer more detail and nuance. (Though this is delicious enough at this state, that I don’t imagine the bottles I have left will make it. Sometimes it’s okay to drink what you have on hand, after all. Very good and worth the tariff.
