  2/2/2014 - Mistress of Wine Likes this wine:

  Light ruby. Red berries and violet leap out of the glass. The palate has nice minerality and smooth tannins. A very aromatic and pleasing light nebbiolo that went with everything we had for lunch. It brought back memories of the haunting aged AR.PE.PE wines we shared in the same city.

  Served from 14 degrees, this needs to be served cold.
  
  Smells of cherries, raspberry, leather and a hint of tar.
  
  Taste of vanilla and some berries, good acidity and fruit. Medium structure and this wine represents a light version of the Nebbiolo grape, but the typical character is noticed. Decent length.
  
  Worked well with turkey, mashed potatoes, onions, mushrooms and red wine sauce.
  
  Good value wine and because of its structure and fruit, I will reckon it can be enjoyed until 2013.
