An interesting tasting of four different versions from the amphitheater-like vineyard of Valmaggiore.
2018 Nebbiolo d´Alba Vigna Valmaggiore, Bruno Giacosa
A high, handsome nose with notes of red cherries, rosehips, linseed oil and fresh herbs. Very, very fine.
The taste is pure and complex with notes of red cherries, dried raspberries, tiles and minerals. Very fresh. Some silky tannins in the finish. 3+ years.

2018 Nebbiolo d´Alba Vigna Valmaggiore, Giacomo Grimaldi
The nose is somewhat closed, even with air, with notes of dry cherries, gravel, dried flowers and licorice. Very good.
