Neive Langhe Nebbiolo

The delightful thing about/problem with a good food/wine book is you get inspired to open all sorts of things but...I’m gonna say this wine was a good choice to go with A Really Big Lunch. Not a problem. This wine will keep growing in delight and holy heck I can’t wait to try Ca’ Rozzeria’s Barolo proper I bought but I will be waiting another few years on that if I can help myself. But for twelve bucks I couldn’t help but order a couple of the Langhe Nebbiolo offerings. And this is a 2015 so it’s super ripe.
Okay so the dried cherry just explodes from the glass with earth and minerally deliciousness and on the tongue the tannins assure you this is in fact Nebbiolo. There is a lot of orange rind going on too. The finish goes on with all sorts of dried flower and yet almost a salinity? Crazy. I’m in. But then I’m a nut for Nebbiolo. Okay one more chapter then I swear I will turn the light out. At least it’s not a school night.

Nice Lange neb. Nothing all that complex, but solid cherry profile. Strait forward neb-

Flyers hockey, pizza and this pairs perfectly with both. Drinking like a barbaesco at a fraction of the cost. Great value!

Alcohol doesn’t seem too strong, but quite tannic. A bit too much tannins for me, but good dark fruits too.

Drank with pizza and was a perfect pairing.

Light to medium body cherry flavors. Great value and weekday wine.
