Sweet roses, red berries, licorice and mint are some of the many notes that flow from the 2010 Langhe Nebbiolo. Although deceptively medium in body, the 2010 has plenty of underlying grip and structure. It is a great introduction to the vintage. A long, beautifully textured finish rounds things out in style. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.
Brothers Franco and Roberto Massolino craft gorgeous Baroli, but their entry-level offerings deliver just as much personality, naturally at much more accessible prices.
