The wine is not long in the glass before red fruit aromas burst forth. Expressive and fragrant but not lacking for complexity, this has complete wow factor straight from the off. A panorama of flavours explode onto the palate, lifted by a limestone quality hemming the fruit and giving the wine focus. There is a savoury mineral complexity to the small wild strawberry fruit; whilst complex savoury notes of herb and dry stone add dimension and make the mouth water. Wonderfully crisp and fine cut this is a gripping and complex wine, whilst also offering instantly seductive aromatics and fruit that echo long into the finish. Stunning. From the middle part of the Albesani vineyard, the steepest part of the hill, and exclusively from old vines planted in 1948 from the original Nebbiolo michet clone. Aged for 36 months in large casks
