Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Winery: Manzone Fratelli / Vigna Fraschin
Smooth and delicious, this opens with aromas of violet, mature dark fruit, leather and a touch of menthol. The palate delivers dried black cherry, raspberry, white pepper and licorice alongside polished tannins. It’s already accessible but will also age well for another five or six years. Drink through 2020.
