ANZIVINO |
| Ambering medium deep red colour. Slightly spicy, sandalwood-tinged, faintly earthy, ripe, baked plum nose. Dry, medium bodied, slightly spicy, slightly baked, harmonious, ripe plum flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, sandalwood-tinged finish. Has 13.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. TIM APPELT / 91-points / BEST BUY - A fine example of Nebbiolo from northern Piedmont. It’s mid-depth garnet in the glass, with aromas of sour cherry, raspberry and blackberry fruit, over a lightly earthy, herbal backdrop. Vivid acidity and fine, grippy tannins frame the palate, that’s filled with sour cherry fruit over savoury underpinnings — showing just the beginnings of some bottle evolution and drying of the fruit. Very lovely, intriguing to sip and contemplate, although many will find it too structured without food — and then it will shine.

| TASTING NOTE: Made wholly with Nebbiolo, this opens with earthy aromas of crushed herb, star anise, menthol and woodland berry. Reflecting the nose, the linear palate delivers dried Marasca cherry, cranberry and clove framed in taut refined tannins. Fresh acidity lends balance while it closes on an iron note. Score - 91 (Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 1, 2018) |
