Villadoria Bricco Magno Nebbiolo Langhe, 2013

The estate makes clear on its webssite that this wine is made in a modern, international style. I tend to lean toward the traditional style of Nebbiolo, but I must say that I find no fault with this wine whatsoever.

Deep ruby with bricking near the rim. Cherries, roses, violets, black tea, vanilla and coffee. Full bodied. Good tension between acid, tannin and ripe fruit. Expresses the powerful rather than the elegant side of Nebbiolo. More like Barolo than Barbaresco. Multi-dimensional finish.
