Moving right along and staying in the same general region, we visit one of the world's greatest grapes, Nebbiolo. From this grape comes the famed Barolo. For our purposes though we will try a wine that shares the same grape but should be more approachable in its youth. Barolos can crush you with tannins if you don't let them age for a decade or more.The wine pours nicely fresh and is remarkably transparent. The tannins are strong but under control. Dry, austere and nicely balanced this $15 bottle is reminiscent of its much more expensive older brother Barolo. This wine appears to be produced by a collective and bottled at a Riuniti facility.
