Harsh, unforgiving tannins dominate from start to finish, crushing any glimpse of fruit beneath their grip. Vegetal, stemmy flavors speak to problematic ripeness, while the wine's structure feels fundamentally broken. Time won't heal these wounds. Skip this one.

Antoniolo

Antoniolo is one of Gattinara's benchmark estates, producing age-worthy Nebbiolo from the appellation's volcanic soils across three distinct single-vineyard Riservas that define what northern Piedmont can achieve.
