Becoming s huge fan of Roero Nebbiolo. Great aromatics, doesn't beat up the palate.

Fruit is muted and a little one dimensional. No flaws just not my style. TBL

Elegant soft and approachable with the structure to age. I like it a lot.

Nice wine. Needs to open up before drinking. Dry sour cherries and plums are a great description of this wine from another review. Would definitely enjoy this again.

med body, med+ acid(almost high), med + intensity, Med+ tannin. masculin structured followed by hint of dried cherry and tabacco bitterness. need time to age to soften up the tannin and develop more fruitness.
