Still the cantina’s signature wine, this cuvee still comes 100% from the Fiasco cru in Castiglione. A more forward wine than the monolithic 2019, this will drink sooner, albeit it will not be as gracious in its youth as, say, the 2018. ...
A very fragrant, polished Movig that drinks more like a fine Burgundy than a robust young Barolo. Excellent length and a seductive palate that will beguile for many years. Intriguing as always. Vinous 93, JS 96

"There is a red wine of Nebiule (Nebbiolo) made in this neighborhood which is very singular. It is about as sweet as the silky Madeira, as astringent on the palate as Bordeaux, and as brisk as Champagne. It is a pleasing wine." - Thomas Jefferson ~ 1787...
