Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Excellent example of how well made Langhe Nebbiolo can age. Roasted spice, tart cherry, currant, and tar. Dried earth and integrate tannins. I could sip this every day.

Astringent and out of balance, perhaps an off bottle. Bramble rhubarb and hay with green leaf notes... not typical for Nebbiolo. This wine doesn’t fall into the almost-Barbaresco Langhe wines, nor does it hit the fruit-forward Beaujolais-style Langhe wines of other producers (Elio Altare, etc). The price is right at Costco... I’ll wait for the upcoming 2019.

Medium body wine. Slightly peppery, very tannic, scents of floral. Nothing really special about this wine.

Aug 12th, 2017Breaking all the rules - approachable now - spicey but easy going - would be good with carnitas

Full nose - banana, slight caramel/vanilla, even smoke. Caramel berry wide on the tongue, slight acids on the edge. Really like it.

Tar and blackberries descend within a rain of fine ashes, black lime and basil. Graphite and concrete seem to encircle. There is a residual whiff of grilled bone and the expected black rose petals. Licorice, black cherry, a creamy chocolate texture, an explosive grilled citrus and black lime that becomes black currant and dry graphite with dried black olive delicately rolled in phyllo-thin layers to reveal expressive, cotton-like tannins that linger in tea leaf voluptuousness! My absolute favorite Langhe Nebbiolo! #CascinaChicco #langhenebbiolo #Langhe #Nebbiolo #piedmontesewines #piedmonte #babybarolo #realwine #tannin

Jul 2nd, 2017I think this is my first Nebbiolo. It's okay. I like a wine with more body to it. This is a light wine with lots of tannin and a peppery flavor. Not a big fan of it

Nov 13th, 2016Somewhat Jammy style Nebbiolo, but with classic notes of rose petal and grilled citrus. Strawberry-raspberry are conjured alongside soft smoke and bitter orange. Money.
