"Full of violet, red fruits, cinnamon, a bit of earthy strawberry; a deep elegance. The attack is focused on sucrosity, a balanced palate with relaxing, lifted acidity. Long, chewy freshness and ripe tannins. The tension is enhanced by the polished finish. Very good now but will develop more complexity with ageing."

"Concentrated cherries, herbs and fudgy oak with a full, rich structure, ripe tannins and a long, savoury finish."

"This shows notes of dried strawberries and cranberries with citrus peel and hibiscus undertones. Medium-bodied, vivid and fresh with chalky tannins, that are a little chewy, but also have some crunchiness to them. It,s floral, red-fruited and already attractive, but better after two or three years."

"Ripe berry, eucalyptus and cracked peppercorn aromas lead the way. Juicy and savory, the full-bodied palate features succulent Marasca cherry, star anise and grilled herb alongside fine-grained tannins and tangy acidity before an orange zest close. Drink 2026†2035."

"Notable for its supple texture and juicy cherry flavors, this red is harmonious and almost seamless for such a young Nebbiolo. The cherry core is supplemented by raspberry, plum and spice notes, with flashes of leather and tobacco. Finishes dry, with velvety tannins. Best from 2025 through 2040. ‡B.S."
