Giuseppe Cortese Langhe Nebbiolo 2016

This 2015 is an elegant, perfumed evocation of Nebbiolo, with an emphasis on fruits and florals. It is a bright, translucent garnet red extending to the rim, with aromas of raspberry, red currant, blood orange peel, cherry, rose petals, underbrush, and a hint of baking spice.

Medium-bodied and fine, its tannins are quite soft (by Nebbiolo standards) and its mouth-watering acidity keeps everything buoyant and fresh through a long, floral finish.
