Description:
Brick red in color. The aroma is classic Nebbiolo, with violets and rose petals in the nose. The wine is rich and flavorful, with robust tannins and hints of tar on the finish. The wine is enjoyable young for the delicious fruit aromas, but also has the stuffing to age for several years.

Varietal Definition
Nebbiolo:
The red grape of Barolo and Barbaresco from the Piedmont region of Northwest Italy. Named after the word 'nebbia', or fog in Italian, which rises around the hills of Alba, the famous truffle countryside. It is noted for its high acidity and 'mouth puckering' tannins and its distinct bouquet of black cherries, liquorice and leather. A top Barolo will take years to soften but when mature will evolve the vegetal, gamy characteristics for which this Italian classic is famous. The colour on ageing Nebbiolo wines fades rapidly to form a distinctive brownish rim.
