Certainly our favourite vintage thus far of this wine.  The 2018 is a red fruited & really ethereal release.  It's lacking none of the structure, minerality & longevity of previous releases - however the balance is so impeccable it's drinking beautifully already.  A real favourite of last year's tourers on our Piedmont tour. Bravo Paolo your 2018 is a stunner!

95 Points, Tom Kline (The Wine Pilot) - "The fruit for this wine is taken from 'Home Block' which is the vineyards around the house. 13% abv. 80% nebbiolo, 10% croatina, 10% vespolina. 36 in bottle. A dusty old oak nuance blends with decayed red florals, dried lavender, red cherry, roast tomato umami, balsamic and subtle cut leather. There’s a lovely cooling feel to the palate, with no forfeiture of flavour intensity and concentration. Lavender, cherry, ferrous, balsamic are braced by fine tannins and cooling acid that draw it all long. This is ethereal and bright, while substantive and powerful. Excellent."

The cepage is - Nebbiolo 80%, Croatina 10%, Vespolina 10%.  It's all from the family home block by the cellar - a single vineyard offering.  Raised in large old Slavoninan oak & a mere 12.5% alcohol.
