2020 Nebbiolo
The Nebbiolo grape, often called the blood grape, comes from the Piedmont region of Italy and a sub-region called Nebbiolo. This is an old grape that dates back to the 7th century and the writings of a monk. From that time to the early part of the 1700s, it was reserved for the exclusive use of the Italian nobility earning the title "The King of Wine" and "The Wine of Kings."
Light and fruity up front, this wine contains all the power one would expect from the Nebbiolo grape. Awash with red fruit there is a soft blanket of rosehips that sits lightly upon the fruit only to reveal the core of tannins at the end.
