90 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate:
“The entry-level 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo offers tonic, bright fruit in a simple context. The wine offers linear tones of cherry, wild berry and pressed blackberry with light accents of spice and tobacco at the back. It ages in neutral oak and the fruit integrity is very intact as a result. In the mouth, this easy Nebbiolo shows tight lines and refreshing acidity. The 2013 vintage is a promising one for this varietal.” — Monica Larner (Jun 2015)

Vinous Media:
“A big, intense wine, the 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo is certainly not lacking in richness or depth. Smoke, tobacco, worn-in leather, spice and licorice hit the palate in a decidedly powerful entry-level offering.” – Antonio Galloni (Dec 2015)

James Suckling:
“A soft, silky red with some red-beet and orange-peel character. Full body, tangy acidity and a fruity finish. Lacks a little bit of a mid-palate but delicious. Drink now.” – (Nov 2015)
