2013 Francesco Rinaldi Nebbiolo d'Alba. This wine is not common in the Northwest marketplace, probably because it is highly overpriced for the modest level of quality -- $32 versus much better versions for the mid $20sThere are some vague Italian characteristics here, but the wine lacks the snappy tannins, the vibrant acidity and the rustic, mineral-and-tar driven fruit I want from this category. It's a pass.
