This is 100% Nebbiolo from the Piedmont in Italy. This is a soft accessible version of Nebbiolo. Ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has cherries along with some mustiness, ash and mint. Soft texture but firm tannins. It comes alive on the palate with cherries and a hard cherry candy note along with a slight earthiness. Good acidity. Nice finish. Very open and drinking well. This was a hot vintage but the fruit is not raisined or under ripe. It drinks well on its own but will be better with food. A great choice for a weekday pasta or pizza night. Drink over the next ten years.
