I think 2018 produced a fresher, more ‘classic’ style with Nebbiolo, although less certain it worked as well with Barbera. Yes, this is screwcap. Importer: Mondo Imports
It’s a lighter style with a fine rose and aniseed perfume, red cherry and dried herb, Fresh, bright, a little rasp to the tannin, but has clarity of fruit and an autumnal character to it. Almond and red fruits on a crisp finish of good length. I like the energy here, even though the tannin is just a bit scratchy and slightly hard. Grows well in glass, and likely to age pretty well, and improve over the medium term. Drink : 2021 - 2030 92 points Gary S. Walsh, The Winefront
