This Nebbiolo shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of cherry, violet and plum followed
by aromas of raspberry, strawberry, vanilla, tobacco, licorice, cinnamon,
cocoa and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic
attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full body,
intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, plum and
raspberry. A well made wine. This Langhe Nebbiolo ages for 8-9 months in
cask followed by about 2 months of aging in bottle.
