This guy is like the Jacky Truchot of Alto Piemonte. Light color, yet amazing finesse and delicacy along with a brilliant texture. Gorgeous nose. Cherries, spice, sawdust, Rainer cherries as well, some lurid feral aromas as well. So complex, delicate and detailed. Palate is beautifully fruited with lovely elegant tannin and gorgeous bright cherries rule the day. Dusty elegant tannin and sappy fruit finish it off. Needs maybe 1 hour to turn into the lace monster it becomes. — 8 years ago

Just popped the '12 vintage and it's stellar right out the gate. Spice box aromas of clove and kola nut, red and purple flowers, dried cranberries and fresh cherries. Very seductive. Soft and tart on the palate. 100% Nebbiolo, but a fraction of the tannin typical of a Barolo or Barbaresco of the same age. — 9 years ago

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

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. — 10 years ago

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
