Cascina Roccalini Roccalini Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2010

$48

GUARANTEED BEST PROVENANCE: DIRECTLY IMPORTED FROM ITALY BY AIR I met Paolo Veglio at a private dinner of winemaker friends in Cortona at Pane e Vino, only to fall hard for his tiny-production Barbaresco. Bing cherry, cranberry, baking spices, hearty tannins, good structure yet quite elegantly balanced. Delicious. Paolo's Barbaresco should age nicely, I'd stick a few bottles in the cellar for future Piemontesi dinners of roast pork, beef tagliata, and carne cruda,

Very young, but opened up nicely. Paired perfectly with meat pie and crispy pig head at Cockscomb SF.

Rustic, spice and slightly herbal side of Nebbiolo. Nice concentration on the palate, a little VA adding lift but love the old world charm this has.

Black cherry, black plums, dried cranberry, baking spices, Tannin++. Wow, that's a lot of tannin. I'd lay this down for a bit, or pair it with a nice fatty steak.
