Did someone say cheap Nebbiolo? I'm game. Hailing from Northern Lombardy, it's called #Chiavennasca here. Slightly different, but just as good. While Piedmont tends more to power and fruitiness, the wines from Valtellina are a bit more earthy, yet graceful. This one has aromas of strawberries and flowers. The palate is soft and tart. It's also got that funk. As crazy as it sounds, this bottle reminds of a really pretty farm. That's a good thing.

2013. B&B. Great value. Jam and tannin. Could use a bit more aging?
