Cantalupo Nebbiolo Il Mimo 2019
Ghemme, Italy

WineSaint
Reticent at first, then builds impressive weight while keeping its backbone intact. Wild herbs, crushed roses and earthy minerality emerge with air. The acidity cuts clean and precise, while a lingering brininess speaks to this wine's savory soul. Built for food, not flash. The structure suggests graceful evolution through the mid-2020s.
