Red
Valmaggiore
By Angelo Negro, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
A Roero Nebbiolo from the steep Valmaggiore "Heroic Vineyard" at Vezza d'Alba, aged 20 months.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red. Fine, elegant nose of raspberry, cherry and pomegranate. Balanced palate with silky, refined tannins and a very broad finish of small woodland fruits, closing on licorice.
