Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose reveals good personality with intense, clean,
pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of black
cherry and violet followed by good and intense aromas of plum jam,
blueberry, licorice, thyme, tobacco, vanilla and pleasing hints of cocoa.
In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack
with a pleasing crispness and however well balanced by alcohol, full body,
intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is persistent with good and
intense flavors of black cherry, blueberry and plum. A well made wine.
This Nebbiolo ages for 18-20 months in cask.
