Cantalupo Ghemme Anno Primo 2015

WineSaint
Muscular and uncompromising, with dark cherry and citrus peel fighting through formidable tannins. Mint, worn leather and violets add traditional Nebbiolo complexity to this earthy, unpolished expression. The rustic character feels authentic rather than flawed. Time will soften but not erase these elements. Needs substantial food and extended decanting. Drink 2023-2032.
