Monsecco
Gattinara Nebbiolo Blend
Gattinara, Vercelli, Piedmont, Italy
Poured into a decanter about an hour before service but really more so because the cork was a bit problematic. No formal notes. The color is still very youthful looking with a bright, largely transparent ruby color. The perfume is quite lovely with ripe cherries, raspberries, anise, some mushroom and earth. Tannins are medium+ but well integrated at this point. Acid also medium+. Elegant and paired ever so beautifully with duck breast. Drink now and over the next 5 years easy.

Could use a few more years but still great.
