Luigi Giordano 2012 Montestefano (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / Montestefano
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Luigi Giordano / Barbaresco

This opens with earthy aromas that recall overripe berry, underbrush, game and just a whiff of barnyard. The palate offers crunchy red cherry, white pepper and truffle against a backdrop of youthfully assertive tannins. Give this time to unwind. Drink 2018–2025.
