Fabio Oberto Nebbiolo Langhe 2020
$60
A firmly structured red, this packs a core of cherry and strawberry fruit accented by smoked meat and iron. Compact, but think vitello tonnato to tease out the fruit. Drink now through 2025. 2,250 cases made, 1,000 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.
