Vietti 2012 Masseria (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / Masseria
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Vietti / Barbaresco

This opens with pretty aromas suggesting perfumed berry, leather, violet and menthol. The soft, accessible palate offers crushed black cherry and licorice framed in supple tannins. It isn’t complex, but it is delicious and already approachable.
