| 75 | | | 91 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Nebbiolo is a grape that originated in Italy but has found other homes across the planet. One of them is in Mexico, in its share of California, where L. A. Cetto was founded by people of Italian descent almost a century ago. This full-bodied interpretation of the grape shows a medium-deep purple red color. On the nose, a lively scent of dried dark and red fruits with brown spice notes introduces a palate packed with fresh dark fruits and robust tannins This clearly New World approach to Nebbiolo is refined and balanced., its fruit fresh and forward but not overplayed. Following 12 months in French oak, the wine ages in bottle for two years. The Bridge Gourmet Mexican Restaurant offered the wine as part of its first anniversary celebration this month. Foods: Robustly seasoned dishes: creamy liver pâté; pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and olives; grilled or roasted duck or Rock Cornish hen; braised meats (short ribs; veal shank) with mashed potatoes; dishes with tomato sauce; meat-based casseroles seasoned with cumin (comino), legumes; rich, aged cheeses.
