In the glass, according to those who tasted it
Journalists, sommeliers and guides: their words, with the vintage they tasted. Quotes in the original Italian.
«Il bicchiere restituisce il classico nebbiolo di montagna, naturalmente più teso e tagliente rispetto a quelli più rinomati e famosi delle Langhe, ma allo stesso tempo anche più delicato e meno minerale e ferroso rispetto a molte interpretazioni valtellinesi.»
ViniPlus di Lombardia (AIS Lombardia)2021 vintageRead ↗
«Il bouquet fiorito di violette, la sua freschezza, il tannino setoso e sottile, la mineralità e la sapidità del sorso sono particolarmente fini.»
Luciano Pignataro Wine Blog2022 vintageRead ↗
«Setoso al naso e ancora un po’ pungente in bocca, ha sicuramente molto da dare con qualche anno di bottiglia in più.»
