Tasting notes

Red colour, lightly bricking. Fine nose, typical of the grape, showing tar, cherries, some earth and tobacco. More Langhe-like than Valtellina. Powerful and quite closed wine in the mouth. Much fruit and more fatness than normal in the Valtellina. Young and fine nebbiolo-fruit. Complex with hints of tar, cherries, earth. High and cleansing acidity. Traditionally made style. Some tannins in the back and quite unresolved and tight. Needs 3-4 more years. Very good nebbiolo for the price that reminds me more of Langhe than Valtellina.
