Medium ruby. Some dried berry and a hint of earth in the nose, muted. Noticeable CO2 on palate entry. In the mouth some floral/violet perfume shows up. Relatively simple. It was a good choice with a smoked pork bacon tomatoes sauce pasta.

What a beautiful wine! It's juiciness reminds me of a fruit I never see in wine descriptions--watermelon.

Restricted and sour, but gets better after 2+ hours open. Quite dry. Ok, but not my style for reds. I prefer the Nebbiolo from this producer. #garagiste

I enjoyed this with a pasta dinner. It is a bit dry but very drinkable.

Nice dry red from northern Italy. Have not heard of this grape nor tried before. Deep purple dark fruit almost plummy and herbal
