Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont, Italy

Winemaker Notes

The wine opens up with dominant citrus notes followed by hints of cedar and spices. Complex aromas of juniper, cherry, and ripe plum rise from the glass. Marzipan, sweet spices, turmeric, and licorice from the wood add another layer of flavor. However, it’s a light use of wood that’s balanced with delicate sweetness, fresh spice notes, and tannins; present but not intrusive in the mouth. The wine finishes clean, sharp, yet austere.

James Suckling – 96 Points

Very well integrated tannins that spread across the palate and give tension and form to the wine. Medium to full body. Chewy and juicy. Needs time to soften.

Pairing Notes

Pairs well with venison stew, prime rib, or rib eye steak, as well as fried, breaded, or spicy fish.
