Gentle, perfumed, beautifully floral. Wild strawberry, earthiness, medicinal herbs, juicy fruit core. Nebbiolo in silk gloves - all the varietal character with real finesse. Balance is spot-on. Keeps getting better bottle after bottle.
Finally showing the depth I was waiting for, becoming more like the gorgeous 2022. Gentle, perfumed, charmingly floral with that juicy fruit core. Balance is spot-on. Earthiness and wild strawberry on the palate, touches of medicinal herbs. Nebbiolo in silk gloves - all the varietal character delivered with real finesse. Lovely now, gentle but compelling.
Three months on and this has sorted itself out. Or maybe just a duff bottle last time? Because that emptiness I noted has vanished. Classic, beautiful Culasso now - gentle, perfumed, charmingly floral with that juicy fruit core you expect from them. The balance is spot-on. Earthiness and wild strawberries on the palate, touches of medicinal herbs. This is Nebbiolo in silk gloves - all that varietal character but delivered with real finesse. Lovely stuff now, gentle but compelling.
Lovely, but compared to the 2022, it doesn't quite hit the same mark - most likely just too young. Very juicy, light on its feet, bursting with fruit and lifted by vibrant acidity. The tannins are still a bit granular. Strawberry, cherry, underbrush - all clean and inviting. A beautiful wine, just still gathering itself. Worth revisiting in a few months.
