Community Tasting Note

• chablis28 wrote: 89 points

  October 7, 2019 - Perhaps Piedmont's only version of Cote Du Rhone from one its best producers. A blend of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and the rare heirloom Freisa and Albarossa. Aged mostly in stainless and some neutral oak. Semi translucent ruby red. Fresh violets and berries on the nose. The palate seems to indicate Barbara is the dominate grape with its almost prickly acidity without food. With food it integrates perfectly adding lift and energy. Somewhat tart mix of red and darker fruit, spice, herbs and minerality. Just a radiant, honest, pure expression of Piedmont tastiness. Perfect no, but always fun and always somewhat different from year to year. Excellent value for $13 on sale locally.
