The 2007 Nebbiolo d’Alba Occhetti opens with an attractive, inviting bouquet. The Occhetti is a decidedly ripe, fat Nebbiolo that clearly shows the effects of the warm growing seasons. The up-front juiciness doesn’t quite carry through the mid-palate, while the alcohol is a touch exposed on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
