A hard grape to tame, Nebbiolo is in near perfect pitch combining both an inherent power and potent aromatics. Rose petal, rosehip, pressed flowers rise from the glass with cherry, cherry stone and a mineral flintiness. Equally, flavours combine rose-based floral aromatics with the red fruits on the palate, plus an additional splash of white pepper, anise and spice. Intense, bright and nicely textural with the grape’s tell-tale tannin presence noted but not obstructive. Assumes a resilient, unassuming sense of power – very Nebbiolo!
