Needed a little coaxing, but some great lifted Nebbiolo character here. Marasca cherry, violet, rock, stick cinnamon

Medium bodied, with enough tannic structure and acid. Paired well with wild boar pappardelle.

I found this to be smooth and delicious with little acid/bite on the end. I don't usually like chianti but love brunello and Barolo and found this to be somewhere in between and enjoyable.
