Alto Piemonte at Flatiron (Flatiron, SF): $33 Monsecco is one of three notable producers in Sizzano. Compared with other regions in Alto Piemonte, Sizzano is known for blending a bit more non-Nebbiolo varieties.
Medium minus ruby to a garnet rim. Reductive nose, with dog fur (Brett) and slight manure/barnyard. Slight dried red cherry. Slight black pepper. In the mouth: - Medium body - High alcohol - feels 14.5% - Elevated acid - Elevated tannins A bit short. 8.5
