Marchesi di Barolo Langhe Nebbiolo Sbirolo 2017

Just hitting the market now, the 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo Sbirolo is very representative of the grape. Fruit comes from the lower and less prized portions of vineyards otherwise used to make top shelf Barolo and Barbaresco.

The wine offers youthful aromas of wild berry and raspberry with some bitter almond and dried Mediterranean herb.

The wine is less austere in terms of structure (compared to other Nebbiolo-based wines) also because fruit comes from young vines. This is a clean and refreshing red with vibrant and tonic energy.
