Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 4, 2014 - I'm a big fan of nebbiolo and, being in Australia, I'm excited to see more Aussie wineries producing nebbiolo. I bought six bottles of Casa Freschi's 2013 nebbiolo on the strength of James Halliday's 96 point view. The first bottle I opened had a problem as it was cloudy and had a barnyard funk going on. Bottle 2, happily, is an inviting bright cranberry colour with tart acidity and a mouthful of cherries and red berries. Lacks the complexity of more expensive Italian nebbiolos I've consumed, but at $24, this is a fine value Aussie offering. Update: 2 hours since I posted and this wine keeps getting better. Great pairing with a capricciosa pizza.
