The 2010 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore is a gorgeous wine that delivers a surprising level of depth and complexity. The wine is redolent of dried cherry, licorice, tar, resin, pressed violet and grilled herb. Its silky texture wraps smoothly over the palate. In all honesty, this Nebbiolo d'Alba tastes as good as a Barolo and should age forward for at least five more years.
