Red
Nebbiolo d'Alba
By Tonino Marchisio, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
Nebbiolo d'Alba aged 12 months in French oak with a short passage in barrique, from the Rocca Sino and Il Roseto vineyards. The producer gives it a lifespan of 5-10 years.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby with a violet rim when young and orange reflections with age. Red fruit, especially raspberry and violet; also liquorice and sweet spice. Powerful and austere, but soft tannins give elegance, finesse and balance.
Pairs well with
Red meat and game, first courses and cheese; also a meditation wine at the end of a meal.
