Cantina del Pino 2011 Albesani (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / Albesani
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Cantina del Pino / Barbaresco

Bold and full-bodied, this opens with aromas of mature berry, eucalyptus, baking spice and a balsamic note. The powerful palate doles out ripe black cherry marinated in spirits, licorice, menthol, mint, clove and pipe tobacco. Closely-knit, polished tannins provide support and an almost velvety texture. It boasts muscle and finesse.
