Elio Grasso Nebbiolo Gavarini Langhe 2010

Lifted and fragrant from the start, raspberry, red cherry, dried rose and a fleeting note of white truffle. Grasso's short fermentation keeps the focus squarely on primary aromatics, and it shows: this is nebbiolo in its most transparent, fruit-forward expression. Lean in body with lively acidity and a classic dry finish, it has the cut and composure of a proper Langhe without demanding cellar time. Versatile at the table.
