Another outstanding wine with an under-$30 price tag. I found suggestions in this wine of sour cherries and crushed rock minerality — characteristics that elevate this a few steps above most wines found on the same shelf. Frankly, I love a good Nebbiolo. Unfortunately I don’t always want to pay $50+ for a Barbaresco or Barolo, and I also don’t always want to cellar my wine for multiple years. If you find yourself in this same situation relative to Nebbiolo, De Forville’s Langhe Nebbiolo will sweep you off your feet. It certainly satisfied my craving.
