About the Wine: Nebbiolo is the grape used to make the Barolo wine. A decent Barolo goes for at least forty dollars so this is either the deal of the century or a disappointment waiting to happen.
About THIS Wine: It is red in the glass with a pink rim, a coloration similar to good Pinot Noir. The nose is complex with almond, cedar, hints of spice and notes of earth and dried fruit. My initial reaction was that it smelled like a super villain's lair. It is distinctive, is what I'm trying to say. The palate is thick and defined by soft tannins. The finish is dry and lingering. A curious nutty flavor and texture lingers through the whole experience.
Drinking This Wine: Enjoy with heavy pasta, baked ham, or other hearty meat dishes. Definitely not a sipping wine.
Overall Impression: This is pretty spectacular for its price. This one is an absolute steal.
