Pelissero Nebbiolo Langhe, 2012

This Langhe Nebbiolo is produced from young vines (15 years and younger) on Pelissero's estate in Barbaresco. It has the elegance and charm of a Barbaresco wine rather than the power and beauty of a Barolo.

Medium light color. Aromas seem muted when the cork is popped. With an hour and a half of aeration, they begin to emerge--subtle and pretty scents of flowers and fresh fruit. Flavors are also subtle rather than bold. Wild strawberries, cranberries, white pepper, ripe tannins. Understated and lovely. I find it hard to quit sniffing and sipping this wine but suspect that it will be even better with another year or two in the cellar.
