James Suckling 90pt

A refined nebbiolo with some blood orange and raspberries. Nicely chewy on the palate with a medium body and a deliciously dry and austere finish.

Tasting notes

A classily produced Nebbiolo, a long-lived wine with a garnet red color and orange reflections. The aroma is very intense, fruity with regal notes of cherries, prunes and violets. The taste is fully harmonic and pleasantly round tannin. Very well balanced and food friendly.
