Score 89/100 · Robert Parker, Aug 1999

About 200 cases were made of the 1996 Pin (89+), a proprietary red wine blend of 50% Nebbiolo, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 25% Barbera. The color is a saturated black/purple, and the wine tannic and backward, made in a Medoc-like style. Although rich, it was closed, and revealing too much oak to merit an outstanding score (it was brought up in 100% new oak casks). A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.
