Viotti
Piemonte Albarossa
Piedmont, Italy
I have no idea what the grape variety(ies) is/are, but this is is very like a hypothetical cross of a crunchy Beaujolais and a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Rustic and grapey, with forceful acids and some tannin. A little violet, leather, and earth in the nose too. Tastes more youthful than I expected for its 7 years of age. Nice with pasta! Thanks to my bro for this one.

Apparently the grape was created from a cross between Barbera and Nebbiolo( though some sources suggest a French grape). It reminded me in some ways of Barbera, but not so much Nebbiolo. I was thinking more dolcetto. Med bodied. Decent fruit.
