Enchanting Nebbiolo

While most of the Nebbiolo in Piemonte needs about three to five years of time to tame its rugged tannin and ripping acidity, the talented vigneron at Casalin has truly softened the beast here, and made a wine that's not just approachable, but absolutely delicious in its youth. Opening with effusive notes of candied cherry and strawberry, along with a touch of anisette, the palate begins juicy and satisfying with the same primary fruits, filling the mouth, and moving to a bright finish with remarkably long tannins.

A lovely wine to pair with lighter proteins like a roast chicken or turkey, the sweetness of the fruit on this wine makes it a great foil for game too, and adds a dimension to sweeter fall vegetables like beets or honeynut squash.
