A love letter to what an every day drinking Alto Piemonte red can be — feather light, high toned, floral, spiced (star anise), earthy and fragrant. All the pomegranates. Finished the trip where we started. — 2 years ago

Nose is very welcoming. Hints of tobacco. Roasted plum. Plum skin.

Palate is sweet plum. Cherry. Delicious. Really sweet fruit. Chocolate. Good acidic balance

Very sexy texture. Really caresses the palate. Clings in a gentle but persistent way. Almost sensual.

Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo. Gorgeous, pale-brick color. Velvety, leather, ripe black fruit, dried roses, tobacco and tar, but with high-altitude and northern Piedmont freshness, minerals, and perfumed elegance. From Flatiron Wines. — 6 years ago

Beautiful floral notes - red roses hits you at first. Dried tart cherry, red currant, wild strawberry, fennel, mushroom. Touch of sandalwood once it opens up. Really nice — 7 years ago

Man the Appasiemento is really showing in this wine. Yowza. Tar, roses, raisins. Smells almost like Lessona Sforzato. Really weird. Some nice older library books, old wood and sultana. What a crazy nose. I like it. Palate is much more classic than the nose suggests. Big, ripe but also classy and elegant with dark cherry fruit and wood shop shavings. Luscious and juicy but my only issue is it’s drying and the tannins outpace the fruit. Drink now versus aging it longer. — 4 years ago

Elegant & structured. Muted aromatics. We gave this six hours in the decanter. Palate dances around—dusty cherry, acid, earth tones, gravel. Tannic, this needs air and/or time. Mineral. Lovely work. — 5 years ago
