Tannins seem to be mostly resolved, still some noticeable and welcome acidity. (102 views) | | | Tasted by jamesabdavis on 2/26/2022: This wine is extraordinarily fragrant. Floral, mineral, with black fruit undertones.
Tannins dominate in the mid-palate but there is plenty of black fruit and acidity to balance.
Tannins again on the finish, which is also amazingly fragrant. The aroma of this wine lasts in the glass for half an hour after the wine is finished.
At 17 years of age the tannins are still so dominant, I wonder if they will ever resolve.
[Edit: the next day this has rounded out considerably, with rich fruit buffering the still massive tannins. Lots of life left in this wine.] (202 views) | | | Tasted by DonSolo69 on 4/9/2010 & rated 89 points: Drank the first one too early. 3 left. However, it is medium-bodied. gives light berries, mint and vanilla on the nose. not too chewy....wish it was chewier. but somewhat balanced red. as i said, drank too early and should shape up i imagine.

| Fiorenzo Nada Producer websiteNebbioloNebbiolo 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.
