Acclaim
“The 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo is a smooth and silky wine that is immediately attractive and highly versatile, especially with pasta or easy meat dishes. This is a clean, ruby colored expression with a fragrant bouquet that shows a very evident floral signature with rose hip and dried lavender. This finish here is zesty, bright and teeming with energy.”
— Wine Advocate, Apr 2019
“Quite reductive at first, but it opens up to show raspberries, cedar and cloves. Medium body, fresh acidity and a zesty finish. Drink now.”
— James Suckling, Sep 2018
