La Casa in Collina Barbaresco Nebbiolo
Barbaresco, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
I rate this 86 but in the context of opening price wines it is hard not to buy this wine. It has all the traits that make Nebbiolo great and while eating against wines of like price point it is outstanding.

Needs to breathe, heavy on the tannins. Quite enjoyable after breathing a bit.

All-in-all, a great QPR for a Barbaresco wine. Nice light garnet coloration with even a surprising touch of bricking for such a young barbaresco. Nose was a little tight but did reveal some cured meats, light cherry, and a bit of rose. Palate was primarily berry driven accompanied by subtle cloves. I personally couldn't pick up any oak, earth, tobacco, or leather notes. Tannins were mostly refined (although should integrate further with time) and in balance with acidity.
