"Enticing notes of graphite, anise and lavender are an aromatic overtone to this red's appealing range of ripe cherry, raspberry and strawberry fruit flavors. Bright and harmonious, with supple tannins on the lingering finish of stone, fragrant herbs and spices. Classy."

"This young Nebbiolo from the mountains of Valtellina is racy, polished and incredibly enjoyable. It™s bright and linear, with aromas and flavors of red forest berry, rose, blood orange and ground clove. Lithe tannins and vibrant acidity keep it balanced while a salty finish lends depth to the close."
