Malaballa di Canale, Roero (Piedmont, Italy) 2009

Jul 3, 2012

By Michael Franz

 Interesting anise/licorice notes get this off to a great start, and very ample fruit suggests that some serious yield reduction in the vineyard is behind this impressive wine.  Deeply flavored and rounded in texture, it nevertheless shows lots of acidity and tannin.
