Wow... so light and fresh and ethereal...
Yet brimming with fruit and spice. Impressive length, as well.
What a wonderful composition this is...
Was told that the blend mixes Riesling, Sauvignon and Friulano, but it has its own character and it really doesn’t resemble any of those three grapes.

Had another bottle, Wow! Laura Catena, 4th gen winemaker, grew up in Argentine-Italian winemaking family in Mendoza. Wines, named after her children - Luca, Dante & Nicola - background of the label is the McDermott coat of arms of her American husband, Daniel McDermott. Single-vineyard wine from land belonging to the Laborde family. Deep red with big ripe fruits & smoky oak. Palate plum & jammy blackberry, spice with nice earthy character. Tannins are a bit rustic, lingering ending with toasty oak & spice. — 5 years ago

At house of Mara and Nicola. Big fruit/oak corposo but short lasting. Very good even with spaghetti clams and mussels. — 5 years ago
ネッビオーロらしい華やかさと鉄っぽいニュアンス。
果実味は柔らかい甘さで、タンニンはなめらか。綺麗に熟成していて、まだまだフレッシュな感じもある。
味わいは自然派の作りらしく、透明感があって、染み込み系。癒し系バルバレスコ。
ただ、年末に飲んだジュゼッペコルテーゼの方が、より複雑で重心の低さと上質感を感じられるワインだったかな。 — 5 years ago
Acacia flower, wet wool, moss, slight vegetal, apple, pear. Felt much more neutral in the palate, was a tricky wine to call blind. — 6 years ago
This wine is such a pleasant surprise still so young but very well balanced with a long life ahead. Only Manferrari can make a wine like this in Friuli. — 6 years ago
Unique expression. Considerable brett, right up to my threshold, meaty and animal, savory, tar and leather about. Its got time still, but the powerful Serralunga tannins hold strong despite their grace. Love this vintage and the spine of acid it carries, really lively and nervous wines. Solid by all means — 4 years ago
Asian spices, minerals roasted meats and lemons. Delicious. — 5 years ago
