Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba

Surprisingly smooth tannin. A delicious wine

Dry sour cherries, dry plums, cranberries, crushed rocks, dry red floral, slight herbal note and a lite earthy mineral finish.

Pale on initial pour but gains color with air. Nose is trickery but with about an hour of air starts to show some dried red fruits, cranberry leather etc. Delicious with the bolognese mussels at Brasserie Beck. Needs time or a decanter to show is best right now.

Easy to drink chocolate notes , had at the winery

Dry and long palate. Fruity but bland at the same time. A little disappointing after the raving but tasty none the less

Bellisimo Barolo.

Light color. Nice, smooth finish. Enjoyed.

Tannic and fairly thin. But good fruit.
