Notes | |||
"100% Nebbiolo grown in calcareous clay soils in La Morra. Fermentation lasts 10 days in stainless steel. The wine is then aged in 30-40% new French oak barriques for 24 months, followed by 12 months in bottle before release." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Good, nutty red-fruit aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate with integrated tannins and a medium finish. Some complexity, but delicate this year. Drink or hold." —James Suckling |
