What to Expect

Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

Reviews

"Bright deep red. Captivating, lively, pinot-like red fruit aromas (strawberry, redcurrant, raspberry) complicated by a minty nuance. Sweet, fat and broad; unusually open and already immensely appealing. Like a liqueur yet somehow maintains its freshness. Wonderfully sweet wine, finishing with lush, spreading tannins…92." International Wine Cellar "Up-front and delicious. Strawberry, mineral and plum, with hints of mint. Full-bodied, with soft tannins and a fruity, pretty aftertaste. Fresh acidity. Better with bottle age...90." Wine Spectator, 11/30/01.

It is a deep, lively garnet in color, with very slight orange hues. The bouquet is delicate yet remarkably intense and persistent, reminiscent of violets and roses, liquorice and spice. On the palate, it is austere and impressive, and at the same time, well balanced, round, velvet-textured, both a fine match with food and wonderful on its own.
