Beyond Barolo and Brunello by Tom Hyland (2012)
"The 'Tenentino' from vineyards in the modern cordon spur system is aged in steel tanks only and has a light peppery note to accompany the dried cherry and dried flower aromas. Medium-bodied, this has an earthy, herbal finish with moderate tannins and good acidity."
