Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Winery: Giacomo Grimaldi / Le Coste
Very different than the 2005 vintage, Barolo Le Coste from Giacomo Grimaldi opens with a brownish-amber color and ripe berry or candied fruit aromas. There are beautifully fine aromas of tar, asphalt and licorice in the background that help balance it out. A Marc de Grazia selection; various American importers.
