This historic Barolo estate debuts on the Place de Bordeaux this year with six tiny-production wines that have been made since 2008 but have never been released commercially. They comprise two sets of three back vintages from their Liste and Cannubi vineyards direct from the winery's cellars in Italy.  This is beautifully fragranced and perfumed with dried rose petals on the nose alongside tobacco leaves, coffee granules and dark chocolate shavings, altogether quite savoury and perfumed with the fruit almost taking a back seat on the nose. Tense and still quite tannic, but so juicy with really high, mouthwatering acidity that fills the mouth. Quite muscular, you can feel the sinew in the wine, the tannins make the impression and there is subtle power here but it's a little constricted right now causing some build up and dryness on the finish. Loses a little bit of punch but complex and appealing. Less than 200 bottles released for sole distribution on the Place.
