Barboursville Vineyards Nebbiolo Reserve 2017

The pre-eminent wine of Italy, and possibly of all red wine, Nebbiolo has distinguished itself as one of our leading varietals since our first vintage, 1998. Our style is inspired by Barbaresco in cultivation and aging, and the wine unfolds in bottle at the stately pace for which it is so greatly appreciated by connoisseurs, for the most savory pairings of meats and game.

Burnt sienna color. Aromas of hints of sun dried tomato, candied cherry, figs, black tea, hibiscus, and hints of cinnamon with a tannic, dry light body and a polished, medium-long dried rose and tar finish with a suggestion of oak flavor. A somewhat understated Nebbiolo with surprisingly good varietal character; we’re excited to see how this one cellars.
