Tasting - Terra dei Savoia Nebbiolo d'Alba

Name: Terre dei Savoia
Variety: Nebbiolo
Region: Piedmont
Country: Italy
Year: N/A
Price: $6.95, Regular Price $20 Sale

Winery Review: Its perfume is quite complex, with spicy notes of cinnamon and vanilla, pleasant and characteristic; at the same time it is also fruity, with cherry and strawberry notes, and at the end we find dried fruit and pleasant toasted almond aroma. The palate finds a totally dry taste, with an interesting structure, characterized by a soft tannicity, which together with alcohol and acidity, create harmonic and elegant sensations.

My Review: This wine was aged in oak barrels as I could pink up on hints of vanilla. The appearance of the wine definitely caught my eye, it seemed as if there were micro-sized pieces of tobacco or dark particles floating. The wine was very dry with a long, tannic after taste with leather, tobacco and cherry notes.

With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
