Ghisolfi’s Langhe Nebbiolo could use an additional four to five years in the cellar, but with the right dish (say veal osso bucco) it’s ready now. Beautifully scented, showing notes of earth and black cherry and wood spice, the gorgeous nose leads to a palate that exhibits impressive black cherry fruit that is hiding behind a wall of tannin waiting to be liberated. Only time can do that, or a savory meat dish.
