Welcome!
Wine Enthusiast:
Classico Nebbiolo aromas of wild red berry, tilled soil, aromatic herb and forest floor spill out of the glass. The generous palate offers red cherry marinated in spirits, white pepper, clove and anise alongside solid tannins. Savory and structured, it's already almost accessible but will still provide fine drinking over the next decade. Drink 2017–2026. Kerin O'Keefe
Wine Spectator:
A saline, savory character pervades this red, with cherry, plum, leather and tobacco flavors propped up by beefy tannins. A touch of herbs emerges as this persists on the long, minerally finish. Best from 2018 through 2032. 650 cases made.

Characteristics | A wine with a fairly marked and bright color and tonality. Bouquet always very rich, intense and lingering. Sensations of great vinosity trade-off with notes of ripe fruit, hardwood, spices and licorice. Great inner-mouth warmth; acidity and tannicity always stand out but tend towards sweet. Very long, lingering aromatic finish. |
Pairing | Excellent with roasts, game |
