| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.8 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Soreng on 8/25/2018 & rated 89 points: Typical for variety, rose petals, earth, licorise, medicine in the nose and add to that a salty element in the taste. Much tannin. Devoloping much over 4 hours this is still young, i would give it at least three years to smooth out the tannin and see what else happens. 89 but only this low because of the still very austere tannin. Long decant recommended. At least 3 hours. Which in itself says somehing about the further potential this wine has. 89-92 (718 views) | | Tasted by putter520 on 2/17/2017 & rated 88 points: A little hollow. (1241 views) | | Tasted by Nanda on 10/22/2015 & rated 88 points: Tasting at Paitin (Neive, Barbaresco, Italy): Full nose has black cherry, licorice and herb but is undelineated today. Medium weight. Red fruit and tar notes. Gritty tannins are overpowering the fruit right now. Will the fruit come back with time? (2095 views) |

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)NebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.

Alba is a town and comune of Piedmont, Italy, in the province of Cuneo. It is considered the capital of the hilly area of Langhe, and is famous for the white truffle, peach and wine production. Piedmont is in the Northwestern region of Italy, bordering France and Switzerland. Piedmont is predominantly a plain where the water flows from the Swiss and French Alps to form the headwaters of the Po river. The major wine producing areas are in the southern portion of the region in the hills known as the "Langhe". Here the people speak a dialect that is 1/3 French and 2/3 Italian that portrays their historical roots. Their cuisine is one of the most creative and interesting in Italy. Nebbiolo is the King grape here, producing Barolo and Barbaresco. In addition, the Barbera and Dolcetto are the workhorse grapes that produce the largest quantity of wine. Piedmont is predominantly a red wine producing area. There are a few whites made in Piedmont, and the Moscato grape produces a large volume of sweet, semi-sweet and sparkling wines as well. |
