Cascina Boschetti Gomba – Barolo Sori DOCG
Nebbiolo is the star variety of northern Italy's Piedmont region. Nebbiolo is an elegant variety with mouthwatering acidity and a compelling perfume of rose petals, violets, fresh tar, licorice, clay, and dried cherries. Light in color and body, Nebbiolo is a more powerful win than one might expect. Its firm tannins typically need time to mellow. With age, it develops a velvety texture and a stunningly complex bouquet.
