Coste della Sesia, Piedmonte, Italy. Nebbiolo (largely) and Vespolina and Croatina. 13%. Cork. Source: Cellar (meaning I've long forgotten how much this cost ? $A60).Delicious. If only I had more. . . Fragrant, succulent and worthy. This smells of spice (Schezuan pepper I think), dried citrus peel and rose petals. If I inhale long enough and close my eyes I can smell raw meat. . . Lovely in the mouth, very Italian, brisk with beautiful lines, but also spotless, precise and full of intensity, indeed this aspect reminds more than a little of Austria and Moric.

Keep on the lookout for the '06, Edward. Methinks it the best vintage yet for Sperino's Uvaggio. More delicate than the '04, and even prettier.
David,
Thanks for the tip. I'm pretty sure I've seen either the 05 or 06 somewhere close to home.
