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.»

Where it comes from

It comes from Donnas, at the entrance of the Aosta Valley: Nebbiolo Picotendro trained on high pergolas over stone terraces. Two years in wood and six months in bottle before release.
