Puzzling and withdrawn, this feels more Nebbiolo than Pinot with its pale fruit and angular structure. The aromatics disappear quickly, leaving little impression beyond fleeting red berry notes. Lacks the transparent fruit expression and silky texture that define quality Pinot Nero. May develop with time, though the trajectory seems uncertain.
