Ascheri 2012 Sorano (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Sorano
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Ascheri / Barolo

Funky aromas of game, powdered herb and scorched soil lead the nose. The tightly wound palate isn’t very expressive, but eventually shows raw cherry, thyme and a hint of star anise while astringent tannins leave a rough, mouth drying finish.
