Caven 2009 Al Carmine Inferno (Valtellina Superiore)

Country: Italy / Al Carmine Inferno
Variety: Nebbiolo Lombardy
Winery: Caven / Valtellina Superiore

This mountain Nebbiolo opens with aromas of forest floor, violet, menthol and a whiff of scorched earth. The taut palate offers dried black cherry, ground pepper and star anise alongside austere tannins that grip the finish.
