ABV 13% (nice!)
Opened this wine a couple of days ago. First time trying Nebbiolo from the Carema region, located in the northernmost reaches of Piemonte bordering Valle d'Aosta.
I love the extraordinarily lightweight, elegant expression of Nebbiolo in this wine. Delicious tart cherry fruit with very delicate structure followed by an appealing finish, which provides a savory taste of the varietal character. A highly versatile wine. Easily passes the "Soldera" test ...👍🍷
Improved over the course of a couple of days. Paired perfectly this afternoon with sandwich made of leftover grilled ribeye steak with a dash of Colman's spicy English mustard.
One of the reasons I love Italy is the seemingly endless horizon of wines to discover along a road of ampelographical and cultural delights.
