Complex aromatic nose full of dusty cherries, kirsch, plums, prune jam, Balsamico, leather, some earthy & mushroomy notes and gingerbread and tons of exotic spices. On the palate very smooth, a touch liquory, with the tannins perfectly integrated and a long spice finish. Brilliant acidity, too.
Stunning! A perfect example of a meditation wine.

ottimo spumante con lievito gentile all'olfatto che percepisce mandarino e cedro. Buona struttura e perlage fine — 9 years ago

AJ 89/100 - Colore rosso rubino fittissimo, naso potente con note di ciliegia ma smorzata da vaniglia, un po di legno, in bocca potente e morbido, con buona acidità, tannino ben delineato e finale lunghissimo. Forse un po ruffiano, ma ottimo prodotto! — 10 years ago
Funky! Natural wine taste, some brett but good brett, lots of funk like Chinese fried dough. Good stuff, NOT AT ALL a classic sauv blanc! — 6 years ago
After the faulty botte 5 months ago, the wineshop owner replaced the bottle 👍
Nice nose with apricot, ripe peach, acacia blossom, nice fruity palate with the same fruit flavors, also some lemon, chalky mineral and spice, fine acidity, young but already drinking beautiful ! 91 DSP — 7 years ago

Botte 47. Phenomenally complex and constantly evolving. Initially savory with some animal fur, toasty honey (aged semillon) notes, slight star fruit. Then it evolved into dried flowers, mushroom, and dark fruit - reminded me of a young Barolo. Then black tea, green tea. Then strong dried spearmint, honeyed toasty complexity like the '81 Lopez de Heredia. Medium bodied with slightly elevated sparkling acidity. Not intense, but persistent on the palate. To borrow a phrase from Veronelli- It burrowed into my memory. I hope it made me forever better. — 9 years ago
premiatissimo in questa annata, etereo, ricco di fiori, legno di liquirizia, viola e rosa canina, buona beva nonostante i tannini vivi che devono assestarsi col tempo in bottiglia ma che accompagnano magnificamente un Blu della zona — 10 years ago

Holy crap... was corked! Giovanni he's a true wine artisan, caring in ascetic worship his 1.8 ha of vineyard called "Paiagallo" from where he pulls out just a phenomenal Barolo: inviolable tradition, little sulfur, foot-pressed grapes, indigenous yeasts, aging in large old cask "botte grande". Such a curse that this time I couldn't enjoy this extremely elegant wine because of the miserable taint of trichloroanisole (TCA) in the cork. — 10 years ago
AJ 96/100 - Colore giallo paglierino brillante, naso intenso con frutta secca, pasta frolla, splendida cera, forti note balsamiche, un sottofondo di frutta bianca matura ed agrume, mela renetta, perlage fine e di buona persistenza, in bocca molto morbido, pieno, sapido, finale lunghissimo. Mi sento un mostro a voler cercare per forza dei "difetti" in questi mostri! — 10 years ago
AJ 89/100 - 100% Negroamaro con appassimento e passaggio in botte. Colore rosso granata intenso, naso complesso con note di macchia mediterranea, spezie, sottofondo di terra bagnata, in bocca ottimo corpo e pienezza, caldo, con ottimo finale lungo. — 10 years ago
