"Lots going on here, for a wine of this category. The notes of blueberry compote, frozen raspberries and balsamic have real fragrant appeal. Meanwhile, a bedrock of firm, compressed tannins supports a vibrant array of wild red fruit and carries acidity-infused layers of citrus long and bright. Shows gravitas and gusto. Drink from 2021." - Awarded 94 Points, James Suckling
"The 2017 Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore is hitting the market as I write this review. The Giacosa family never made a Langhe Nebbiolo and instead focused their efforts on a site-specific expression of Nebbiolo to fill in the lower end of their portfolio. The 2017 Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore hails from an always over-performing site in Roero that is distinguished by floral notes and bright berry intensity. This hot vintage is more accessible and near term (compared to 2016); however, it offers plenty of that pretty floral intensity that makes Valmaggiore so special." - Awarded 92 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"This aromatic red exhibits strawberry, cherry, white pepper and liquorice scents. Earth and tobacco flavours chime in as this builds on the palate to a long, well-structured finish. Drink now through 2025." - Awarded 90 Points, Wine Spectator
