Fantastic Nebbiolo for little dough. Very characteristic of Nebbiolo with smokiness/tar, roses, bright red fruit and ample acidity. The tannins are also not over powering this fine effort even though this wine is quite young. Definitely a wine to age at a good price point. Very surprised to find a wine like this.

Simple. Had by itself—might be slightly better with food.
