This is the top-bottling from this Grignolino-expert. Red transparent colour. Dark for this grape. Highly floral and fine nose with
hints of currant, cherries and leather. Unoaked, clean and floral wine in the mouth with great depth. Refreshing acids and a bite of
tannins at the back. Seems still a bit young. A little closing in the finish. A very good grignolino and an interesting wine.

Tasting note: Sep-04
Light transparent brownred colour. Very nice and complex nose. Shows leather, cherry-stones, floral high notes. Medium bodied.
Fruitdriven and unoaked wine. Fine fruit, quite evolved showing red berries and a little leathery. Fine floral notes. Acidic and
cleansing structure. A little rustic and biting tannins in the back. On top now. Drinking very fine. As beautiful as grignolino can
be. Great wine.

Tasting note: June-06
Transparent brick-red colour. More red than rose. Great nose with much perfume. Clean and floral with notes of anise, mineral, light
currant. Complex. Medium bodied wine in the mouth. Clean, unoaked and pure grignolino with great depth. Floral fruit with a touch of
anise. Evolved and a touch of forest-floor and tartufi. Fine acidic balance with some light tannins in the back. Great wine that has
evolved better than expected.
