Grape Varietal:
100% Nebbiolo
Tasting Notes:
In the nose spices and tobacco define the character of this Barbaresco, while the palate returns savoury and salty notes combined with hints of cherry and mint. A generous structure and well defined tannins. Together with lingering fruity notes, also balsamic fragrances stand out on the finish.
96 Points - Wine Enthusiast, October 2020. "Violet, new leather, truffle and spiced plum are just some of the aromas you'll find on this captivating red. Full bodied and boasting youthful tension, the linear palate delivers mature Morello cherry, spiced cranberry, star anise and tobacco framed in tightly knit, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2023–2030."
94 Points - Falstaff, November 2019. "Bright ruby core with subtle garnet to the rim. Smells stimulating of pickled fruits, apricots and savoury forest honey. Substantial and dense concentration, grippy, full tannin, very appealing, with a salty finish."

93 Points - Doctorwine, January 2013. "This vineyard is in the area of Treiso. A refined and sensual wine. Although he will never admit it, I know this is Andrea's favorite cru, the one that comes closest to what he has been working so hard to achieve. This is probably because its is the closest to Burgundy, the one that incarnates his philosophic ideal. Its color is the clearest of the group, a very luminous red yet less intense than the other wines. The aroma has an unusual intensity, with scents of menthol and berries standing out, a hint of wild strawberry and raspberry that recall the Cote de Nuit. The way this wine expresses the land is not just surprising but incredibly original. The flavor is silky, captivating and with an exemplary freshness. This is example of a style that is anything but loud, perfect for those who love elegance."
18.5/20 Points - Vinum Wine Magazine, "Exquisite workmanship, already the first impression with its spicy wild berry nose and leather notes captivates; compact on the palate, the tannins robust, balanced, finely tart fruit finale. An elegant Barbaresco straight out of a picture book."
