Nebbiolo d'Alba

Good easy sipping neb. White pepper and dry spices, maybe even dried fruit undertones. For the price it’s even better.

Medium red color, not too brickish. Pale, almost. Leathery and dusty on the nose, Dried red cherries on the palate, medium weight. Good acid. Was open for 2 days.

Not expensive, a good deal.

Perfect with the Mediterranean platter we ordered.

👌

Dry and light but flavorful and nice mineral tones.

Tannic at first, mellowed as it opened. Better on day 2. Cherry , but didn’t have that Nebbiolo signature. Pleasant enough for the price, but a little disappointing

Familiar tannins, cherry

2018

Cranberry, sour cherry, rhubarb, white pepper, leather, licorice. On palate, tomato water, herbs, and earth join in. Right, but a little hot and a touch astringent but opening up with air. (Maybe should have opened it a bit earlier given that it’s still very young .)

2017 - still really young but good earthy, leathery notes. Very good for such a low price.
