Ruby garnet color. Aromas and flavors of dried cherry, rose, pipe tobacco, and orange zest with a round, racy, dry medium body and a warming, stimulating, medium-long finish with notes of dried red cherry, blood orange, dried herbs, and cocoa nibs and potpourri with coating, grippy tannins. Medium body with robust tannins, this wine is a textbook example of entry level Nebbiolo; truly well balanced.

About
Piedmont Nebbiolo d’Alba
Nebbiolo d'Alba is produced exclusively from Nebbiolo in vineyards that are not in the Barolo or Barbaresco production zone. Flavors are similar to those more famous wines - notes of dried cherry, orange peel, tar and roses - yet the wine is lighter with less tannic bite. Thus the wines are more approachable at an earlier age - consume these wines from five to ten years in most cases.

As Nebbiolo d'Alba is lighter and not as famous as Barolo and Barbaresco, it is often a good value and can serve as an excellent introduction to these iconic reds. Pair these with most red meats, game or aged cheeses.
