| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Is there any grape more classic to Italy than Nebbiolo? This is the classic grape of Barbaresco, a grape of ultimate refinement and elegance. Also grown in California (Shenandoah Valley), where it makes more robust wines, in Italy it promises and delivers restrained good taste. This medium-bodied dry red wine presents a translucent garnet red color and aromas that blend red fruit with floral notes. On the palate elegant red fruit flavors present a refined, well-integrated, balanced taste framed by supple tannins. This wine has good potential for cellaring at cool temperatures over the next half dozen years or so.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Refined flavors: Creamy liver mousse; roast chicken; simple tomato lasagna; roasted veal with mushrooms; crumbed sweetbreads; snail ragout (but not with a lot of garlic); roast pork tenderloin.
