Tasted this with a few wholesale accounts the other day. Wow it is good. Alpine Nebbiolo! It is elegant with tons of character and beautiful fruit. It is not aggressively tannic at all, which means it is a Nebbiolo you can drink today. It was warm outside but this red still fit the bill beautifully.
bright red cherry, anise and sage on the nose. The palate is more complex than I could've ever imagined. What a delightful wine

No idea why Delectable shows this as a Corvina blend. 100% Nebbiolo. Took a good two hours to unwind. Still young but the power belies the color. Patience will be rewarded.
