Pico Maccario Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba 2018
$50
A taut, red fruit-flavored Barolo, this evokes strawberry, currant and cherry flavors framed by eucalyptus and iron. A firm grip of integrated tannins mark the finish now, yet this is balanced and lingers. Best from 2025 through 2040. 1,000 cases made, 600 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.
