Description
Vineyard in Serralunga. Mid-ruby with orange tinges. Intriguingly spice-edged nose but otherwise completely closed. Not forward at all as you would expect from 2007. Great intensity of fruit and sweetness and big but ripe tannin. Much more inviting on the palate than the nose. Completely integrated, but not invisible, acidity betraying the vintage. Long, fragrant sweet fruit finish with contrasting tannin. A tactile pleasure.

About this wine
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.
