The 2006 Langhe Nebbiolo reveals fragrant aromatics, along with sweet red cherries, flowers and spices in a medium-bodied style, showing all of the qualities one expects in young Nebbiolo. Although the wine is fairly accessible, the tannins require some air or another year or so in bottle to soften. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2014.
From top to bottom this is very strong set of wines from Cortese, something I haven’t always been able to say.
