This wine is so hard to rate. You either love or hate it. It’s almost a dessert wine with the sweetness it displays right from the bottle.
Early on, it had some depth and tannin to balance the sweetness and provide for some cherry and good fruit.
As it decanted and sat, it seemed to get sweeter as tannins faded.
This wine needed strong cheese to really balance it.
It was the favorite for some but then avoided by others. You have to really enjoy the sweetness without sugar. — 8 months ago

Still one of my favorite Amarone producers of all time. Unfortunately the world seems to agree, and where I paid £50 a bottle 15 years ago, it now costs $52 a glass (albeit in Vegas). Check out the abv - 17%! You can tell on the nose, but the palate wins — 2 years ago
Grapes sourced from 2 vineyards, high altitude sandy souls in Vera d’Alba & Renesio Incisa cru in Canale. Originally called "Nebbiolo bianco" due to the shape of the bunch and the size of the berries similar to Nebbiolo. Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with herb notes. On the palate flavors of lemon, apple and herb character. Medium finish, lively acidity balance, ending with creamy citrus and mineral character. Nice value! — 4 years ago
