Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 4, 2018 - Indigena World Tour Day 1: Monferrato (Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria, NYC): [According to Ian d'Agata, Albarossa is a red grape variety that was created in 1938 by Giovanni Dalmasso in Conegliano. He thought he created the grape from a crossing of Nebbiolo and Barbera but DNA analysis in 2009 showed that the "Nebbiolo" vine used was a French wine grape called Chatus, which is also known as Nebbiolo di Dronero.] Inky black color. Nose of ripe black fruits. Big and tannic. Quite intense. Reminds me a bit of Petite Sirah, which I like very much.
