A lovely plum red colour, pale at the edges with flicks of terracotta throughout.
Smells of muddled plum, black berry, and raspberry, red pepper and bell pepper and a little rosemary.
The palate really over delivers – generous fruit, bloody orange, ripe raspberry and fresh plums sit between walls of tannin that run long through the pallet. The tannin builds weight in the mouth. A little amaro finish is true to the varieties and somewhat Italiano. It’s refreshing and satisfying, happy in or out of the fridge depending on the weather of the day. Delicious on its own but will lift with a little bit of food.
– Notes from Little Reddie
“Nebbiolo hangs out with refosco.
What a wicked drink! Crisp, crunchy, fresh. Not complex, but hey, this thing hums with good energy, cherry juice, a little sweetness whipped away by grippy, silty tannins, green herb, alpine herb, pretty spice. A few pay grades up from rose and ready to chill.” – 90 Points. Mike Bennie, The Wine Front.
