Bright fresh cherry 100% Nebbiolo sipper from Ghemme + Gattinara + surrounding areas. Typically rustic, but not annoyingly so like some other area producers... some forest floor and barnyard, but balanced with violets and star anise and rhubarb. Very enjoyable.

A reminder to keep stashing away everyday wines for later drinking.

Always love the "alpine" character Alto Piemonte wines tend to have. Ripe wild berries, cool herbs, wildflowers, licorice root, leaves, minerals. A modestly framed Nebbiolo that shows nerve and packs quite a bit of fruit. Great value and terrific tannin structure for everyday drinking.

Dark cherry, dried orange peel and some sweet rose petals. Clean and a bit more feminine, or at least approachable than other young nebbiolo.

Hits the spot for an approachable, well-made, varietally correct Nebbiolo with personality 👌 Thank you Neal Rosenthal (and Mangus Nilsson too )

@Derek Hearst I had this on Tuesday. It was soft and very accessible. Probably a product of the vintage...
