A sleek style, featuring cherry, plum, iron, coffee ground and tobacco flavors allied to a dense matrix of tannins. Turns even more tense and sinewy on the finish, where earth and tobacco accents echo. Best from 2025 through 2043. 1,250 cases made, 375 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.
