Dusty mineral notes of crushed river stone and pencil shaving emerge first from the bouquet of the 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo. This vintage shows fantastic definition and fruit clarity, and I have been very pleased with the Langhe Nebbiolo category across this board this year. Once those mineral notes lift, you begin to sense sweet fruit, soft plum and succulent black cherry. This wine offers an excellent introduction to Nebbiolo.
