they are a point of pride among those who so passionately collect them and put them aside to age in their cellars

The palate impression of the middle weight flavors is relatively precise and especially so in the context of what is typical for the 2018 vintage while offering evident minerality and salinity on the balanced bitter lemon-inflected finish

with the energy and tension that is typical of the Nebbiolos of Gattinara

Alheit, Magnetic North Mountain Makstok Vintage:2024 the wine opened up inThe 2023 Magnetic North comes from ungrafted vines on their own roots from a massal selection, though from exactly where has been lost in time. It has a vibrant bouquet that has slightly more energy than the Huilkrans, extremely mineral driven with notes of sea spray and struck flint. The palate is very pure and pixelated, perfect in terms of acidity, with just a hint of menthol toward the finish. Outstanding.
