Taste profile

Decanter95 pts

From the winery's Sotero's Vineyard in Calistoga Ranch, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for 27 months in 80% new French oak. Showing the depth and concentration of the 2018 vintage, very compact and shy at the pull of the cork, and with air begins to reveal its dark-toned berry fruit, brown baking spices, dried sage and mint, and fragrant minerality. Medium to full bodied with good tension and very fine, pixelated tannins laced with mocha character and finishing with green tobacco, charcuterie. This is a very complete and well-crafted wine. Enjoy it now and for the next decade easily.

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.
