Taste profile

Decanter World Wine Awards95 pts

Freshness, elegance and restraint are the tripods of this youthful wine, which has debonair milk chocolate, spice, strawberry scents and such a graceful personality. It's powerful and refined in the mouth with fine-grained tannins and a silky texture. Hard to resist now but try to keep a few bottles for the future.

AboutRoberto Voerzio Nebbiolo Langhe 2023

This isn't the standard Disanfrancesco, but a special LastBottle exclusive labeling.

Dave Santos

I bought it anyway, but any word on these exclusive bottlings from Roberto? I've never had his non exclusive offerings, so I wouldn't have that point of reference anyway, but I assume if he's putting his name on it, it's of good quality.

Replying to Dave Santos

I had this exact bottle a few weeks ago and I enjoyed it as a young nebbiolo. Intense on the nose (cherry jolly rancher and rose petal), surprisingly approachable for a 2023 nebbiolo. For the price I think it's a great buy.
