Photo taken from Moodle
Name: Terre dei Savoia
Variety: Nebbiolo
Region: Barbaresco
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $9.95, Frontline $40 Sale

Winery Review: Red berry, rose, leather and baking spice aromas come together in the glass. The structured, juicy palate doles out ripe black cherry, licorice, roaster herb and tobacco alongside firm, velvety tannins. Still young and bracing, give this a few more years to fully develop.

My Review: Strong notes of berries and a pungent leather smell. Oaky with hints of vanilla as well. Very tannic with a dry after taste but is still quite balanced with acidity. Smooth and full bodied.

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