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 — 6 years ago

Perfect with my garganelli--structured, rustic nose with a palate to match; barely overripe red fruits, earth, mushroom (but not too funky). May not be quaffable. It opens up. — 9 years ago

Еще очень молодо. В носе зелёный перец, за которым прячутся ирисы и фиалки, виноградная шкурка, сырой табак, легкое заигрывание с горьким шоколадом. Во вкусе плотно спрессованы слива, сухая смородина, спелая садовая вишня, тутовник, крапива, намеки на графит. Тело плотное, крепко стянутое, с вибрирующей кислотностью и неспокойными танинами. Вертикальное, очень крепко сбитое вино с хорошей структурой, но все ещё слишком зеленое и агрессивное. Интересно. — 10 years ago

Probably the best croatina I’ve ever had! Okay, prob the only one I’ve ever had. Another Lou classic, earthy, funky, tart cherries, beautiful ruby color and barnyard nose. — 5 years ago

The 1961 Lessona from Tenuta Sella is alive and kicking! Plenty of acidity and red fruit, it pops with a surprising freshness for a wine of such age. A rather excellent companion while catching up with a friend from (high) school.
$199 on the Maialino wine list in NYC, which is packed with such gems. — 6 years ago

80% Nebbiolo, 15% Vespolina & 5% Croatina

Color not of a wine of only 5 years...deep yet translucent ruby, brown edges, stunning.

Nose, I'm in love! If there was such a thing as a cherry with rose petal that was actually a rock and you could eat it without losing all your teeth or you're a Rock Biter, this is that wine!

Palate...cherry, cherry and did I mention cherry? Oh Nebbiolo how I love thee. Baking spice, anise, oh the palate is continually changing, I'm confused and over joyed, god damn life is complicated, or is it easy?

Paired this bottle with 4+ hour, slow/low grilled spare ribs and Brahms 7th Symphony, amazballs as my buddy would say!

100% Cab Franc from...Piedmont? Yup. Courtesy of Paolo de Marchi, owner/winemaker of Isole e Olena. Long sur lie and barrel ageing creates a medium bodied, rich yet elegant wine with supple tannins. Earthy, cassis and pepper flavors — 10 years ago
