Nose has white pepper on macerated cherry, grilled raspberry, semi-moist garden soil and dry leaves.

Palate has roasted cherry, fresh cherry, brown bread, Chestnut pastry and rocky granite-biased minerals. Delicious!

Gorgeous nose. Chestnut, tar, leather, roses, old books, classic Nebbiolo. Palate has sweet sweet cherry fruit and nice density with terrific high acid and structure. Needs an hour to get going. Really intense 2010 structure but thrilling fruit. — 7 years ago

Before airing, nose was weird and furniture-like. But things normalized quickly. This is one of the more complex non-Ripasso Valpos out there (yes, I know it’s not officially DOC). Nose has bitter cherry, almond, tilled soil (almost like the smell of just-pulled carrots). Great balance, fruit and acid in abundance, soft mouthfeel, lighter weight. Tannins resolved. Bone dry. Finish is minerally and savory. Would work with a wide range of Italian food. I should note that the back label states that this was made in accordance with a 19th century traditional technique, including aging in chestnut and cherrywood barrels. — 4 years ago

It's been about 17 mo. since our last bottle, and we're seeing some improvement.

Nose has warmed Granny Smith apple with butter.
Palate had serious zingy acidity to start, but since subsided, now a combo of yellow/green apple, water chestnut and a minerally honey.
We're seeing continued improvement as the decant time continues. — 7 years ago

Such a musk! You could bottle this as a cologne and I’d buy it. Chestnut, fennel pollen, golden apple, dried pear, beeswax, white pepper, very subtle sherry-like notes. Amazing pairing with pork pate and with confit chicken wings. Becomes more honeyed with time in the glass/decanter. Old Chenin 😁 — 3 years ago

Very interesting nebbiolo from alto piemonte. Apparently aged in chestnut barrels, certainly somewhat unusual. But really very refined and pure, if a bit light. May not have been the right pairing with a porchetta style roast pork shoulder - more of a “burgundy” pairing versus a “nebbiolo” pairing, per se. Quite light in the glass. Light cherry and some good earth and medium minus tannins. Nice wine but was hoping for a bit more. — 5 years ago

Lovely nose. Tobacco, dried roses, chestnut, mineral, so floral, Cuban cigar, really aromatic. Just gorgeous. Elegant, juicy and complex. So fresh, refined and clean. Fantastic ripe tannins. So classic. Lovey mid season cherry fruit and spice. Great persistence of licorice and cherry. So pure. — 5 years ago
