Country: Italy /
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Beni di Batasiolo / Barbaresco
A little earthy, but some charming aromas of licorice and tar show through on the slightly diffuse nose. Nebbiolo’s normally grippy tannins have been beaten into submission here, providing a soft frame for leather and strawberry flavors which follow through to the moderate finish. Should gain complexity from a year or two in the cellar.
