100% Nebbiolo from young vines in the Serraboella cru in Neive. The site sits on calcareous soils at 350m above sea level, with a southwestern exposure. The must is fermented in steel vats at controlled temperatures and aged for five months in steel and another five months in Slavonian oak barrels.

Lots of ripe raspberry, floral, spicy. Juiciness and vibrant but no shortage of firm chalky tannin, slightly raw feeling, though I don’t mind that here. Cherry and almonds in the mix, and attractive freshness. Structure and charm. Lovely.
