I've been hesitant to open this because the Tre Stelle was so challenging and this is supposedly the more structured of the two, but I shouldn't have been, as this is a wonderful and phenomenally easy-to-drink wine, about as friendly as young nebbiolo ever gets. If it is indeed more tannic than the Tre Stelle, that is only the case on paper as the structure is smoothed over by rich, very polished fruit that still has the gloss of youthfulness but whose flavors are well past the primary into savory and earthy territory with a sticky grip. It opens with a dazzlingly complex aromatic punch of herbs and a succulent meatiness, which quiets down soon enough but the wine never shuts down. The fruit is in crimson tones, plummy at first and then more towards apple skin hours later as it backs down from that initial generosity, but throughout the bottle it is full and plump, finishing with stony earth. I'm slightly tempted to call it autumnal just on account of the complexion but that doesn't seem to work because there is a very clear sense of freshness here. No leatheriness or other badges of oxidative aging that surface fairly often even in nebbiolos that I *like*: this bottle captured everything in pristine condition, making an exceptionally delicious wine with a robust inner core but a flawless veneer with no rough edges, brimming with generous, richly constituted nebbiolo goodness. — 10 years ago

2011 bottle bought in Stuttgart, Germany (Gentile). Maybe it was just the day I was having but this wine came out of the bottle fantastic and just got better. Didn't want to open a full bottle but it was in the kitchen. Couldn't stop drinking. Big, bold but smooooth. Going back to get another!! — 11 years ago

An excellent red wine. Dry with a pepper finish, which is what I tend to enjoy. Bought while wine tasting in Michigan, celebrating a birthday! — 11 years ago

My first time tasting this wine, a declassified Lambrusco if I'm not mistaken. Very fresh fruit and acidity. I want this with pizza! (from last night) — 11 years ago
