Pleasantly surprised, but it definitely needed the right food. It was great with a gnocchi in Parmesan and Gorgonzola sauce. The bright acid cut through the rich cream sauce. Some roasted lamb brought out the herbaceous notes, and once again the lighter body and acid helped to balance the rich dish. It was strange that it paired horribly with a carbonara dish- something about the prosciutto made it musty tasting. I think the key to the enjoyment of this wine is the food pairing, so pair wisely! — 8 years ago

1982 Bruno Giacosa Serralunga d'Alba Riserva Barolo. Second red at post-museum lunch at Il P. Drank this alongside the '82 Giacosa Brunello. This was much more well rounded with a longer finish. More favored of the two wines hands down — 10 years ago

What a beautiful wine. Surprisingly approachable and soft for a young Nebbiolo, while still showing the structure and harmony these wines are famous for. For the money, a 10! — 8 years ago
