Terre dei Savoia Nebbiolo d' Alba 2011 - Alba, Italy


Wine: Terre dei Savoia

Varietal: Nebbiolo d' Alba

Region: Alba

Country: Italy


Year: 2011 

Price: $6.95

Shop Review:  Its perfume is quite complex, with spicy notes of cinnamon and vanilla, pleasant and characteristic; at the same time it is also fruity, with cherry and strawberry notes, and at the end we find dried fruit and a pleasant toasted almond aroma. The palate has an interesting structure, characterized by soft tannins, which together with alcohol and acidity create harmonic and elegant sensations.

My Review: This wine started off peppery on the tongue. It had a long finish with a very tannic bouquet. I could not taste any berry flavors like the shop review notes, but my taste may have been soiled by the previous wine. I would like to try this wine again, perhaps with food.

Did not have with food.
