2014 was a difficult vintage with heavy rains requiring careful pruning and cluster thinning. Better weather in August saved the day, carrying through to a relatively late harvest in October. This example shows characteristic Nebbiolo scents of violets together with elegant red fruit and a whiff of cinnamon and clove. It is surprisingly approachable on the palate, showing fine red fruit, though still youthful, aggressive acidity. Should be drinking well with another 3 years aging.
