Nebbiolo
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

Barbaresco Bric Balin shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry, plum and violet followed by aromas of raspberry, rose, vanilla, tobacco, cocoa, cinnamon, leather, licorice, pink pepper, mace and menthol. The mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry. A well made wine. Barbaresco Bric Balin ages for 18 months in barrique.
