Dried red fruit, rose, mint, violet on nose / strawberry big time, some leather in the background / fresh and light, with a little more complexity from the bottle age. Gorgeous. — 8 years ago

Nose was a bit restrained and didn't seem to come around. Flavor was beautiful, that neb taste in a lighter mouthfeel. Nice fruit. Tannins fill the mouth on the finish. But lightly. — 9 years ago

Significsntly thinner and lighter than a Barolo but still identifiably a Nebbiolo - kirsch, spice box, some grittiness and perfume, tobacco, hints of mint and tannic oakiness. Wish those mint and green herbal notes were dialed up a bit. Not as complex or deep as some Nebbiolo. — 10 years ago

9.1

Брусника, калина, пьяная вишня, красный апельсин, шкурка красного яблока, подсыхающая роза, дарджилинг, розовый перец, солодка. Легкое тело с интенсивной, но прозрачной органолептикой, сочной ягодной кислотностью и тонкими, ещё чуть суховатыми танинами. Элегантно и выразительно, без банальностей, не слишком комплексно, но органично и хорошо сложено. — 9 years ago

Just had our first dinner in Varenna and it was very good, local all the way and a bit different. Fried cheese balls, cocoa and saffron pasta with porcine mushrooms and grilled lake fish. Had some Lugano white made from Trebbiano which was very good, full bodied with good acid. Had this red as well, 2012. Very nice and light, great with lake fish. Of course finished off the night with an unnamed Grappa. — 11 years ago

This makes a very, very strong case for Valtellina. Primal and elegant, oxymoron be damned. The wild savoriness of the Northern Rhone with a side of Piedmont's pretty fruit. Maturity-wise, I'd be shocked if it has ever been better than this, but would also be pretty surprised if it gets any better than this. — 12 years ago

Fresh & bright with cherry & blueberry and some wilted roses. On the palate juicy and light with fruity acidity and light tannins. There’s a mineral streak beneath and a touch of fresh herbs towards the finish. Delightful stuff. — 8 years ago

9.4

Tobacco, rock, and a Whif of alcohol. Fruit coats the mouth,; tannins dissipate quickly. This is a sassella, but the producer chooses not to label it as such. — 9 years ago
