Spanna Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2019

Dave
9.4

Wow, this is spectacular! Plenty of life ahead of it, too. The wine is a very pale brick color. It is fresh and vibrant, but beautifully complex. Red sour cherries, juicy and acidic, leather, mint, a little dust on the rose petals. Medium plus on the tannins. I would love to have this with a lot more age. Should be a great wine for a charcuterie spread, and at $19 I feel like a highway robber.

@Dave, I knew zippo about this producer until maybe 16-18 years ago. There was an importer/retailer east of California where I purchased bottles of 1996/2000/2003 Vallana wines, I have a few left, but they seem somewhat immortal (I guess Nebbiolo is the key). I also purchased four vintages of the early 2000s Wynns Black Label Cabs from the same source (all sub-US$15), which I thoroughly enjoyed — @Bob McDonald could fill in on what a bargain those wines always are!!!

@Doug Powers , your stories never disappoint, and I don't know how you can remember so many wines with such clarity. I can barely remember what I've had this year without looking at my notes.

@Doug Powers You are right Doug. Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s great wine bargains. Can’t remember exactly but now with a heritage of over 50 vintages.

Excellent cooler-climate styled Nebbiolo. Great acidity, texture and length. Nice herbal / black tea undertones with cherry fruit on top. Yum. — 6 months ago

Boca Nebbiolo Blend 2015

9.2

Very close to my idea of a desert island wine. At 13% it has more smooth edges but that lovely thread of acidity common to its more expensive & jagged Vallana cousins. Dark red fruits, violets, tree bark. Juicy too, the tannins are pretty integrated. Skurnik importer. — 6 years ago

What a wine and what a bargain. This is a Nebbiolo based blend from the far north of Piedmonte. Big, ripe, a bit tannic but very drinkable. And a 2009 library release just out for $22?! Will be back to get in volume. — 5 years ago
