Red
Nebbiolo d'Alba
By Podere Gagliassi, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Younger, more approachable Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba vineyards, half aged in French oak and half in steel. Producer suggests drinking within 6 to 8 years.
Tasting notes
Transparent ruby red with light garnet hues. Floral (rose, violet) and fruity (cherry, raspberry) nose with light spice, liquorice and toasted notes from the oak. Refined and upright on the palate, with elegant tannins and a fresh, dynamic finish with floral and spicy aftertaste.
Pairs well with
Piedmontese first courses, white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
