Intense aromas of red berry, leather, spice, and tilled soil rise out of the glass on this Nebbiolo from Piedmont. It’s structured and balanced, offering dried cherry, orange zest, and licorice alongside a backbone of dusty tannins and fresh acidity. It’s the perfect wine to drink now or a few years down the line. This wine represents one of the great values in Piedmont today.
