Feminine, versitile dinner Nebbiolo. The floral nose and the almost-ripe red fruits, white pepper, and hints of iron and thyme paired well with each of: dark slow-braised beef cheeks, provencal hen, winter tuber salad, and crispy fried sweetbreads.

Tasting with Cristiano Garella from Sella (Northern Piedmont) (Biondivino): Fresh, slightly underripe strawberry and Italian bitter nose, floral, slightly meaty. Tightly wound palate, with fresh strawberry, a touch of fruit sweetness, and some chewy tannin. More depth and complexity than the Orbello or Bramaterra. Good acids and a very elegant, gentle frame. Not very generous today but should be lovely with another year or two more in bottle. Will definitely buy some of this. (80% nebbiolo, 20% vespolina)

Wet paper, dusty flavor that I don't like at all. Is it the grape or the year?
