"My tasting notes about this wine are glowing, and I’ll include them here: “Beautiful, classic Barolo nose. Intense depth. Fresh and complex in the mouth. Wonderful finish. Great wine!” Massimo Benevelli has created a masterpiece of Nebbiolo from the distinctive Ravera cru of Barolo in Monforte d’Alba. With a good decanting, this wine is sublime now, but the wise bet would be to stick a case of this in the deepest, darkest part of your cellar." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant

There's certainly plenty to look forward to, especially if the tannins soft touch from here." - Vinous media
