The 2001 Quartetto adds Cabernet and Merlot to Nebbiolo and Barbera. There’s nothing wrong with experimenting, but the best Nebbiolo obviously goes into the Barolo and the best vineyard positions used for this grape. Bordeaux grapes need sun and heat, and while there is a certain fullness, intensity, and length to this wine, the Cabernet is too herbaceous for my taste and the tannins on the finish somewhat dry.
