Vina Alicia Nebbiolo 2006
4034
"Bright ruby-red. Slightly medicinal aromas of black fruits, tobacco, mocha, menthol and dried flowers. Suave and juicy on the palate, with very good clarity and lift to the penetrating flavors of dark fruits, minerals and mint; a suggestion of band-aid quickly disappeared. Classically dry, energetic wine with real nebbiolo character. With its firm tannic spine, this is built to age. Shows little sign of its 15% alcohol. It's hard to think of a better nebbiolo made outside the Piedmont.
