Mauro Molino Barolo Bricco Luciani 2018
$75
This leads off with a good dose of spicy new oak, with vanilla and resin aromas and flavors wrapped around a core of cherry, plum and eucalyptus. Fresh and firm, yet feels balanced in the end. Best from 2024 through 2037. 375 cases made, 125 cases imported.

Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
