Cantine Sansilvestro
Brumo Nebbiolo d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Beautiful brownish in color with light intensity.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing raspberries, cherries, spices, peppercorn, light wood and coffee.
Short finish with grippy tannins and tart cranberries.
This is a very tannic Nebbiolo. Needs a few hours to open up properly, which I did not have as it finished quickly.
Would be nice to try it again in 3 years.
14% alcohol by volume.
87 Points.

Um this is awesome! Very approachable tastes like red fruit, anise and tar.

Actually, a fine companion to barolo and barbaresco.

Tobacco on the nose with a bit of vanilla. Medium bodied, dry, nice tannins. Strawberries, cherries, cocoa on palate.

This was surprisingly excellent with turkey. Somehow felt like a fancy Pinot noir combined with Nebbiolo. Which of course makes no sense.

Klopt niet in app, maar heerlijk. Je hoorde hem ligt knetteren en had geen zuur zoals veel witte wijnen hebben. Jay rate hem 7.5 voor mij een 8
