WineSaint
Dried cherry, mountain herbs, mint and a faint floral lift, this is Northern Piedmont Nebbiolo in a lighter, more graceful register. The wine's high natural acidity gives it poise and keeps the fruit animated, even as the overall impression leans toward delicacy rather than depth. Charming and honest, if not built for the long haul.
