You know the magnum size
has always another step, much more than the 75 cl. bottle.
It is a blend, from old grapes
of Barbera (95%) and a bit of Nebbiolo. Maceration of 25 days and then barriques e tonneaux for about 16/17 months.
The acidity beats still
hard, conversely the wood passage was absorbed, I'd say pretty good, just some nuances of vanilla, while no barb about
the color scheme, yet compact ruby with purple veins.
The nose is very fresh and
has a great deal of fruit - strawberry, cherry and blackberry - a slight spicy nod,
joined, as mentioned, a light touch of vanilla, but lacking of consistent mineral
stamp.
In the mouth it is vertical,
relentless acidity, with determined fruity and decisive character, but also
prevalent and a tannins charge still powerful.
Sip calls sip, unstoppable,
thanks to this acidity, creating dependency. Structure but also balance, for a closing
by strong balsamic reminders.
