Costa del Salmino Ghemme Riserva Nebbiolo 2017

9.3

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Consistent throughout, but this really needed air in order to get going. Initially, this was quite wound up and somewhat backward. However, after about an hour in the glass, a real beauty emerged. The 2017 Costa del Salmino Riserva pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe, mostly red fruit: raspberries, strawberry, Morello cherry, red flowers, red rope, licorice, talcum powder, dried green herbs, new leather and cedar box. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and chock full of savory minerals. I mean…this bordering bone broth levels of savory, lol. My opinion: these need time to show their best. Drink 2027 through 2047. — 24 days ago

I’ve always thought Ghemme underrated. Hard to find though! Have never had this producer.

@Tom Casagrande Only Rovellotti’s Riserva’s are labeled like this. The other wines tend to have more modern labels and designs. Definitely worth seeking out both whites and reds. They are all beautiful. Rosenthal imports.

Such an underrated DOC. To my taste, many exhibit a lower-toned earthy quality than the surrounding DOCs.

My first Ghemme Nebbiolo! Once it opened up it was like a rustic tomato sauce loaded up with dried oregano, almost sweet. Grippy but soft tannins. Ripe cherry and earth. Delicious. — 5 months ago

Wow! It’s like a time capsule from the past. "A Hard Day's Night," the Beatles' first feature film, was released in Italy on July 10, 1964; one can imagine the winemakers and winery staff catching a matinee and returning back to complete this vintage!

Such a brilliant Ghemme and value. Nose of tar, roses and dried and fresh cherries. Superb and very clean aromas that have also inflections of spice. Really layered and so precise. Leather as well. Juicy and so concentrated with such stunning purity and freshness and just terrific fruit. It’s ultra compact and so sleek. Brilliant wine. This is so so well made. Polished but traditional. Juicy and so energetic and drinks well on the pop and pour. — 7 months ago

Lovely Aussi expression of this grape. Lively flavors and smooth in it’s transitions particularly for a wine so young. Closer to a Ghemme than a Barola. Earthy, Raspberry, rose petal, dried fruit, hazelnut. Very approachable young as it is not overly tannic or acidic. — 2 years ago
