Top Notes For

9.3

While not as pronounced as its Barolo sibling, the tar and roses are still evident on the nose here. This looks, smells and tastes like a nebbiolo, just not as intense as it can be. The red fruit is a little more candied (slightly) and the palate is a little more thin, but all the usual hallmarks are there. Paired with a soup course that included pancetta, cannellini beans and chicken broth, beautiful pairing.
