Notes

One of the best Val dei Pretis for years, very good, intense, rich, ripe flavours of berries, dark cherries and dark chocolate, powerful, smooth and dense with bright shimmers of salt and mineral on the finish. Very serious Nebbiolo. Val dei Preti is a single vineyard near Canale just outside of the Roero DOCG that benefits from similarly light, sandy soils. After a light extraction the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and ageing in barriques, 50% of them new, and is bottled after 18 months.

Notes

The 2009 Nebbiolo d’Alba La Val dei Preti is a big, expansive wine loaded with sweet red cherries, crushed flowers and spices. There is plenty of texture and depth in the glass, but the wine turns a bit diffuse on the mid-palate as it loses an element of focus and sheer energy leading to the finish.
