A magnificent 1.5L Magnum of single-vineyard Piedmontese red wine sourced from the high-altitude Basarin cru on the border of Neive and Treiso. Large-format aging allows this organic, native-yeast fermented Nebbiolo to evolve with exceptional grace, revealing a savory profile bursting with intense aromas of wild strawberries, tart pomegranate, spiced black tea, and balsamic herbs underpinned by vertical acidity and fine-grained, persistent tannins.
Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with pan-seared duck breast with a cherry reduction, slow-cooked wild boar ragù, herb-crusted rack of lamb, or mature Parmigiano-Reggiano.
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Balsamic aromas of camphor mingle with earthy whiffs of forest floor, new leather, cedar and wild berries on this elegant, full-bodied red. The tight, linear palate is delicious and loaded with personality, delivering ripe Morello cherry, mocha, licorice and an earthy note of truffle framed in firm, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well-balanced. Drink 2026–2038. Kerin O’Keefe
92 Points - Wine Spectator
Steeped plum, cherry, eucalyptus, tar and mineral flavors are backed by beefy tannins in this streamlined red. A core of ripe fruit plies the middle, before the tannins exert their grip on the finish. Muscular, yet balanced and long. Best from 2025 through 2043. 1,083 cases made, 350 cases imported.
