An impenetrable wall of tannin took over after an hour or so, but this was drinking nicely on the pop an pour. I guess you can give these time, but not sure this fruit can hang with the tannin long term.

Italian Nebbiolo wine from Gattinara in northern Italy. Light rusty red color, floral aromas on the nose, with intense flavors of sweet cherry and raspberry on the tongue. Every taste is complete with depth, structure, and whimsical charm.

Oh ... to be wine tasting in northern Italy ...

Clear tawny garnet with aromas of tart cherries, roses, dried orange zest and baking spice. Soft mellow tannins with cherry, orange, clay pot and potpourri flavors. Medium bodied with high acidity, complex long finish. Very cool irregularly shaped bottle

Fruit forward without being overwhelming. Tart, raspberry with nicely balanced tannins.

This is one of my fav. Super smooth with fruity aromas! You can't go wrong bringing this baby to a host at a dinner party!

Suprisingly light, but went well with medium steak.

Roses and red fruit. Refined vanilla and soft leather. Crisp, silky, lingering finish.
