Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Bruno Giacosa's Nebbiolo d'Alba from Valmaggiore, the steep, sandy amphitheatre in the Roero at Vezza d'Alba. The sand gives a perfumed, finer-boned Nebbiolo than the Langhe's clay: red cherry and raspberry with rose, liquorice and spice, medium-bodied with silky but present tannins and bright acidity. A classic from one of Piedmont's great names, enjoyable young and good for several years.
