A light, fragrant, high-altitude mountain Nebbiolo. Very typical of this region (when done right).Very mature color: light garnet/ruby with lots of amber at the rim. Nose and flavors, however, are still very much alive. Fragrant, high-toned, earthy/minerally nose with loads of winey-cherry and pomegranate fruit. Ripe, earthy, flavorful, but lean in the mouth. Lots of minerally cherry fruit builds after an initially earthy entry and leaves slowly. Good acids, and surprisingly full body. Lengthy, lean finish. A decent value at $18.99 from Zachys.com. B+, but you have to like this unique style. Imported by Wine Warehouse, Commerce, Cal.
