A radiant, harmonious Nebbiolo that thrills the senses and envelopes the palate in a passionate embrace. It is one of those rare and wonderful wines that transcends the usual descriptors of fruit and oak treatment and so on, relying instead on mesmerizing liveliness and extraordinary equilibrium to weave its spell. Less intricately structured than, say, quality Barolo (and certainly less costly), it demands sensual appreciation rather than intellectual analysis.
