More jickleswallow from TheBloodyPulpit:

  1. Not a producer I’ve had before but apparently an up&coming star. Took over the LaMorra estate of her family at age 24. Her background in Burgundy really shows thru in this wine. A fairly new addition to the Kermit Lynch portfolio.

Had this same wine a while back and loved it for exactly how you described it. Pretty, floral and concentrated is a style of Nebbiolo that I much prefer over the “heavy handed” oaky examples.

Also agree that Giulia is truly a star in the making, she already has a great reputation in the region.

I’ve had it recently as well and posted a note on a Norwegian site that is pretty much as you describe it. In a similar style I very much like Principianos wines.

I picked up the ‘21 vintage from K&L last year and was similarly impressed with her wine making!
