Super intriguing aroma... it took me a few minutes to even comprehend what was wafting from the glass... tangy, zesty, spicy... ORANGES. This wine smells like fresh squeezed juice with a ton of Italian herbs backing up the zest. The palate has some powerful tannins balanced against bright acid. Tremendous.

Improves after 30 min in the glass but not up to par to its peers. Nice orange zest and bitter chocolate nose but doesn't justify the price tag for Langhe Nebb

Great light upfront with hints of chocolate. This is not bold, classic Nebbiolo but pares well with Italian food. Can beat restaurant prices $56, probably $25 retail.
