Gorgeous, rustic, soulful. Brimming with dried cherry and strawberry fruit, sweet licorice, mushroom, sweet medicinal herbs, flowers, cloves, sarsaparilla, cocoa, old wood and grandma purse lol. Acetic but right under my limit, brings some funk for me. Nice ripeness in the fruit, acidity is high, tannins are firm and lively. Diggin it

Classic rustic Italian. Earthy… bit of tobacco & dry cherry. Kind of a lingering umami. Just a hint of sweetness. As much as I love French and Napa juice, only Italy does this.

Lovely Nebbiolo from Lombardy. Nice fall wine. Went nicely with uni and tomato pasta at Il Buco.
