Sweet red cherry and orange peel emerge with remarkable depth and complexity. The structure here is seamless. Substantial tannins meld completely into the wine's elegant framework. Fresh mint and mineral notes add lift to the persistent finish. This captures northern Piedmont Nebbiolo at its most refined. Drink 2018-2035.
