Loaded with structure but with plenty of curb appeal, here is an approachable Nebbiolo that delivers spot on regional character, focusing on cherry fruit and faint, complementary herbs and oak spice. Lavender lingers alongside the fruit in the long finish. It’s just entering its pleasure window, and poised to hang around for 10 to15 years easily.
