Right now, this is the most enjoyable wine to drink from the range. Named after Nadia's uncle and father, it actually feels like a blend of Teresa la Grande and Bandita - which makes sense, given that it's a mix of Ruchè and Barbera (about 40/60, though I can't recall in which direction, and as Nadia says, let that be a secret).

It takes the elegant florality of Ruchè and the beautiful fruitiness of Barbera, bringing them together in a way that just works. Structurally, everything is already in place. Sure, it will only benefit from another year or two of aging, but even now, it's a pleasure to drink - balanced, expressive, and stylish, just like all of Nadia's wines.
