There’s nothing like a young Nebbiolo from the Piedmont when it comes to challenging your tooth enamel. Not to worry — time will round things out and turn the dental alarms off. There’s already a gorgeous nose here, with blueberry, powder and a touch of fresh wintergreen. The palate shows cherry, blueberry, a touch of vanilla and expected acidity which, as it fades, will leave a feminine expression of the flavors. I’ve been impressed by this producer of late.
