A new producer to me, and one whom I look forward to diving into the rest of the lineup. This Nebbiolo could easily be mistaken for a young Barbaresco, with its tight tannic structure, dry earth and brown spice with cherry blueberry and strawberry fruit just waiting to pounce after a few more years in the bottle. Very nicely realized! A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition.
