A new import for Ethereal Wines, adding to a collection of strong producers. This is a blend of 40% Nebbiolo, 30% Croatina, and 30% Vespolina coming off 70-year-old vines in Alto Piemonte’s Ghemme and Sizzano subregions. 12.5% abv. Decaying red florals, cherry, red liquorice root, and a whisper of salted meat with a gratifying and attractive autumnal lift. The palate is tight and fine with pleasing linearity and mineral cut around red rose and cherry pit. The tannins are light and chalky. There’s a Pinot Noir sensibility here, and a high drinkability factor. Delicious.
