2013 Le Pianelle Bramaterra

Continuing an exploration of Alto Piemonte (my interest being sparked by the recent Vinous coverage on the region), this wine is a gem.  

Elegantly balanced structure with fine dusty tannins and a bit of youthful edginess. Definitely worth opening a bottle now. 

Midweight black fruit, minerality, with forthright tar and truffle on the finish. Quite a bit going on palate-wise. Truly seductive nose of flowers and sous bois.

More complex than the 2013 Sperino Uvaggio (Lessona DOC) recently tasted ...

I love the blend of Nebbiolo, Croatina and Vespolina. Grown on soils of volcanic influence. Vineyard is situated near the town of Brusnego.  A  really nice wine from a great vintage.
