Description
In a nutshell:
A satisfyingly complex, but perfectly approachable style of Piedmontese Nebbiolo.
The lowdown:
Nebbiolo is famous as the grape variety that goes to make the long lived Barolo wines of Piedmont but, in the right hands as here, it also makes very rewarding, earlier drinking wines. The grapes here are, after fermentation, matured for 12 months in a mix of French oak barrels and large Piedmontese oak vats. The outcome is a wine with an attractive pale brick red colour, typical of the variety, and sweetly aromatic aromas with hints of roses, tobacco and spices that certainly draw you in. Ripe cherry and berry fruits are up front on the palate and it finishes with an earthy, savoury complexity with finely-grained tannins.
When to drink:
A good example of Piedmont's premier red variety and great with rich meat stews, or meaty pasta dishes.
Suitable for Vegans
