| TASTING NOTE: Responsible for the famous Barolo and Barbaresco wines of Piedmont, the late-ripening Nebbiolo is a finicky grape to work with, not unlike Pinot Noir, with which it is often compared. Though famously ageable, Nebbiolo develops the brick-orange tint associated with aged red wines while it is still young. This example has a medium- garnet colouration and offers an aromatic and pretty nose. Good structure with complex raspberry, dried herbs, apple, earth and light oak tones. The Nebbiolo wines of the Langhe are often some of the greatest values to be found in Piedmont. (Vintages panel, Nov. 2016) |
