Brooding aromas of tar, black cherry and tobacco give way to a palate that feels structurally imbalanced. The fruit shows good concentration, but rigid tannins dominate the medium-bodied frame. There's potential here if the tannins integrate over time, though the fruit may fade before that happens.

→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.
