L.A. Cetto Private Reserve Nebbiolo 2010

Woodsmoke, dark cherry, plum and vanilla with a lifted floral note on the nose. Surprisingly smooth and linear with a certain refinement. Though you should not expect this to have the massive tannic presence Nebbiolo demonstrates in Barolo, even fans of the iconic Piedmont expression will enjoy this pleasant, approachable and easy-to-like New World version, particularly when paired with casual barbecue fare.
