I've been hesitant to open this because the Tre Stelle was so challenging and this is supposedly the more structured of the two, but I shouldn't have been, as this is a wonderful and phenomenally easy-to-drink wine, about as friendly as young nebbiolo ever gets. If it is indeed more tannic than the Tre Stelle, that is only the case on paper as the structure is smoothed over by rich, very polished fruit that still has the gloss of youthfulness but whose flavors are well past the primary into savory and earthy territory with a sticky grip. It opens with a dazzlingly complex aromatic punch of herbs and a succulent meatiness, which quiets down soon enough but the wine never shuts down. The fruit is in crimson tones, plummy at first and then more towards apple skin hours later as it backs down from that initial generosity, but throughout the bottle it is full and plump, finishing with stony earth. I'm slightly tempted to call it autumnal just on account of the complexion but that doesn't seem to work because there is a very clear sense of freshness here. No leatheriness or other badges of oxidative aging that surface fairly often even in nebbiolos that I *like*: this bottle captured everything in pristine condition, making an exceptionally delicious wine with a robust inner core but a flawless veneer with no rough edges, brimming with generous, richly constituted nebbiolo goodness. — 11 years ago

Very tasty - you can definitely taste the fruity flavor but it's great if you like your red wine a tad more dry. Got my taste buds going! — 11 years ago

Leftover from Tour d'Italia at The Wine Club - Santa Clara. Young and full of potential. Tighter than the 2010 Copparossa. — 12 years ago

Light, crisp and refreshing, this sparkling wine is great for toasts or with the meal. Citrus, pear and floral aromas . Light body, velvety bubbles and a toastiness that will appeal. Serve alone or with oysters, shell fish and light fare. 53% Pinot; 47% Chardonnay. — 12 years ago
