Lovely, lighter version of Nebbiolo, with no loss of complexity. Cherries and floral perfume. Tar.

If Valtellina were allowed to varietally label Nebbiolo - only PiedmonteDOCs can - these wines wouldn't be such a secret. Pure, honest, rustic flavors of tar, cured meat and tart red fruits

Cashed in my local wine shop loyalty card for this bottle. Overall quite good - a cured meat, red fruit vibe happening here with a helping of tannins (less bite than the younger nebbiolos that you find around $20-$25). Thoroughly enjoyable, but I’ve had more mesmerizing bottles at this steep price point.

The finest of the Arpepe crus. Rounded and perfectly integrated. Snappy, but not too much. Leather, soil, butcher's table...the greatest hits.

Such a fantastic wine. 2010 is a great expression. If you're not familiar with the DOCG, you're missing out. If you're not familiar with the producer, you're missing out even more.
