This opens with bright aromas of raspberry and toasted almond. There's a nicely etched quality that gives it a firm, solid mouthfeel.

This fresh Nebbiolo-based Roero from Cantina dei Nebbiolo offers pretty intensity with aromas of tar, licorice and a touch of sweet cherry liqueur. There isn't much pulp or meat here but the finish is both crisp and tart.

Light graphite notes of pencil shaving and slate roof come on the heels of wild berries, orange zest and powdered licorice. Shadings of ash and smoke liven the mouth but the finish is exceedingly tannic and dry.
