In a word: Bellissimo! Unique Montepulciano with supple tannins and a medium body well layered with flavors of bright acidic black fruit, hillside brush, must, and cedar. Massive QPR and a #winekylecandrink. — 9 years ago

The Nebbiolo grape's name is derived from the Italian word "nebbia" meaning "fog." Some say that the grapes were named after the dense rolling fog that frequently falls over the lush vineyards of the Piedmont. Others, however, believe the grape's name refers to the hazy state this powerful wine leaves its drinkers in the next day - a belief I currently subscribe to. Liberally sampled this wine from large format bottles at a dinner party. Big and powerful tannins on the nose fall away in the mouth to a well balanced but still firm wine with flavors of black cherry, fine leather, and tar, followed by a delightful finish. Drinking well now but will become even more delicate as time passes. #winekylecandrink — 9 years ago

After Alyssa Milano, Barbera was my 2nd true Italian love. This wine rekindled that flame. Flavors of black cherry, currant, with light oak touches. Wonderful food wine, can pair with anything. If you have been longing for a go to weeknight red, look no further big QPR. #winekylecandrink — 9 years ago

Only after liberal samplings out of a jeroboam of this vintage can I confirm that this wine is really hitting its stride. Beautifully structured, on first impressin you are struck by a rounded tannic backbone that quickly softens to elegant flavors of plum, dark Swiss chocolate, and tobaccos. Wonderful mouthfeel, perfect finish. #winekylecandrink — 9 years ago
