with oak and fruit in superb balance

dark berry liqueur

backward and brooding nose reluctantly gives up hints of very earthy dark pinot fruit nuanced by a distinct animale hint that merges into broad-shouldered flavors that offer excellent volume and concentration that finishes with just a hint of dryness and plenty of minerality

cherry compote and licorice

thick and unctuous effort that's overflowing with notes of browned butter

Giuseppe Rinaldi, Langhe Nebbiolo Size:12x750ml with oak and fruit inIt's probably not fair to taste another wine after the 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo, but all things considered, the 2012 acquits itself nicely. Sweet, pliant and expressive, the 2012 is a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Crushed flowers, sweet red berrie and spices add nuance on the silky, open knit fabric. Rinaldi's Langhe Nebbiolo is 100% Ravera fruit from Barolo designated vineyards that spent 18 months in cask.
