Mirafiore Barolo 2018
$60
A supple style, this delivers juicy black cherry, plum, tar, leather, iron and spice flavors. Broad and well-endowed, with dense tannins that exert themselves on the finish for now. This should come together nicely in about 3-5 years. Excellent length. Best from 2026 through 2043. 4,000 cases made, 3,500 cases imported.

Primary 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.
