Translucent crimson color with promising red fruit, licorice and a bit of leather aromas. On the palate it's light-bodied, elegant and well structured with well integrated dusty tannins and bright acidity. It shows sweet and sour cherry, red licorice with hints of raspberry, and leather with a mineral tinged lingering finish. Nice value at $24. 100% Nebbiolo from the vineyards of Teglio. It is fermented in stainless steel tanks for two weeks before spending 12 months in a large cask for ageing. Decanting highly recommend.

Nebbi-YoLo (I'm so, so sorry) Dry a/f + bright acids. Valetellina Neb is a good thing.

At macellaio. Good and dry nebbiolo. Good with italian food. A bit too dry for fish or by itself. 43 quid.
