2019 La Palazzina Coste della Sesia Rosso 'Vecchi Vigneti'

A very strong release from this ultra consistent wine, no doubt in some part due to the super growing season in 2019. 

94 Points, Tom Kline (The Wine Pilot) - "Single vineyard. 'Vecchi Vigneti' tanslating to 'Old Vines' with this taken from sites planted in 1935 and 1950. The cepage is 50% nebbiolo, 40% croatina, 5% vespolina, and 5% uva rara, meaning it can't be labelled as Bramaterra due to cepage rules for the appellation. 13% abv. 30 months in bottle. Deeper set and more intense than the rosso, though in a similar vein. Dried and decaying red rose, balsamic, lavender, ferrous drive, dried cherry. Good balance of intensity and detail on the palate - balsamic, morello cherry, lavender, and rose again. The tannins are firm but filigree and the finish is long and detailed. A wonderful expression."

A single vineyard wine,  From very old vines planted planted in 1935 & 1950. The cepage is Nebbiolo 50%, Croatina 40%, Vespolina 5%, Uva rara 5%.  Age in large oak for 30 months & just 12.7% alcohol. Certainly accessible now but capable of extended cellaring.
