Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Winery: Poderi Colla / Roncaglie
This opens with a classic Nebbiolo fragrance of red rose, leather, perfumed wild berries, forest floor and a hint of menthol. On the palate, white pepper, mint, thyme and eucalyptus notes add depth to the mouthwatering wild cherry and ripe raspberry flavors. It’s still young, with a firm, tannic backbone balanced with just enough fresh acidity. Drink 2018–2026.
