Cascina Saria 2012 Colle del Gelso (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo

This opens with earthy aromas of scorched soil, underbrush and a funky whiff of game while the palate offers candied cherry, white pepper and a hint of tobacco alongside firm tannins. It closes on an aniseed note.
