Riserva Bramaterra Nebbiolo Blend 1989

Last of my bottles & a bit sad to see it go- these were soulful wines, demanding not just in managing & extracting their corks but in leaning in to taste what they have to say. After a double decant & cheesecloth/strainer, tasted over 2 days, using a half bottle for day 2. What I loved was the wholeness & evocativeness of the wine, with all the parts having melded; fairly closed on nose but by day 2 old forest floor, rose hips, & black tea leaves; on palate all that & rose petals, dried cherries. The drinking window is closing as previous Delectable users have noted, but what a cool sunset. — a month ago

What was the blend?

Good question: a previous Delectable review said 60% Nebbiolo / 20% Croatina / 10% Vespolina / 10% Uva Rara but I think that’s the portion of grapes planted in the vineyard, not the wine. But I’ll stick with those proportions!!@Joshua Fisher !bb

Orbello Coste della Sesia Nebbiolo Blend 2022

A love letter to what an every day drinking Alto Piemonte red can be — feather light, high toned, floral, spiced (star anise), earthy and fragrant. All the pomegranates. Finished the trip where we started. — a year ago

What do they blend with the Nebbiolo ?

@Joshua Fisher looked it up and actually much lower in Nebbiolo than I thought (only ~50%). The rest is a blend of barbera, Croatina, vespolina with a touch of cab!

If a wine smelled like cherry cola spilled on a box of Crayola Crayons and it’s a great thing. — 2 months ago

Colline Novaresi Croatina Nebbiolo 2015

Nose: earthy. Blackberry. Bramble.

Palate: fresh. Vibrant. Rustic in a fun way.

An amazing version of what it is.

Munaloss Nebbiolo Blend 2022

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2022 Vino Rosso Munaloss is bright, focused and sculpted. Sweet red fruit, sage, mint and blood orange abound in this super-expressive wine. Exuberant yet classically built, the 2022 has fine energy and tons of class. This is a fabulous entry-level offering. $20.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2024) — 9 months ago
