La Spinona 2012 Bricco Faset Riserva (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Winery: La Spinona / Bricco Faset Riserva

Blue flower, crushed mint, dark spice and new leather aromas take center stage in this wine, along with a whiff of hazelnut. The palate doesn’t quite live up to the nose, offering dried black cherry, licorice and powdered sage notes and bracing tannins.
