Tasting Panel93 pts

A heady Cru Nebbiolo from a dry, warm vintage. Black cherry, cedar, and baking spices. Medium- to full-bodied. Creamy red-berry fruit, warming vanilla-bean and pastry notes, and a backbone of scintillating acidity.

Spring rains mitigated the hot, dry summer, with an ideal September for ripening Nebbiolo. The best Barolos and Barbarescos are fresh and balanced, evoking red fruit flavors
