Jul 16th, 2018What an interesting varietal. Floral, tannin-y and earth all at the same time. Lots going on with this obscure grape.

Jun 8th, 20182016v. Deep ruby color. Lots of juicy red fruit on the nose: raspberries and cherries, plus a little floral violet. On the palette, juicy red fruit with a minerally finish (like Flintstone vitamins). Mild tannins, youthful tannins cover the mouth and add a bit of chew to the body. Overall, a very approachable red from Piedmont that has some attributes of pricier nebbiolo wines (especially bouquet and fruit profile) at a lower price point, but with more body. 15% ABV.
