Aromas of dark cherry, slow-roasted strawberries, and balsamic continue onto the palate with flavors of prunes, dried figs, and subtle notes of autumn spice and bittersweet chocolate. Finish is long with balsamic and earthy cocoa lingering on palate. Outstanding. Has really nice freshness still, and tannins are well integrated, providing a smooth mouthfeel. Vintage is 2015. — 7 days ago

Vintage 2019 | Blend of Sangiovese, Cab Sauvignon and Merlot. Mesmerizing smell. Black cherries. Spices. Old Forrest. Hint of gingerbread. Well balanced taste, beautiful acidity, frivolous, elegant. Paired with coda alla vaccinara. — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Gorgeous on both days. The 2019 Grumello “Rocco de Piro”pours a brilliant, ruby color with a transparent core and a slightly watery rim; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of cool, fresh raspberries, roses with babies breath, Alpine herbs, cedar chest, and rocky earth. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and the texture is silky. Such a beautiful and elegant expression of Chiavennasca. Drink now through 2034. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 3 months ago

Quite brown and oxidative despite perfect cork. Plummy, licorice, dark chocolate, interesting secondary flavors and good amount of tannins left. High 14.5%. In a perfect spot but at the end its life. So yes drink up. — a month ago

Delicious Chocolate over dried fruit notes with nice dry floral notes. A very nice nebbiolo without face ripping tannins- a good sipper but also would pair well with the lighter side of Italian foods. — 3 months ago
