Negretti 2012 Rive (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Rive
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont

This opens with enticing scents of rose, iris and perfumed berry. The firmly structured palate offers ripe black cherry, white pepper, licorice and clove alongside drying, austere tannins that leave a rather grainy finish.
