Fontanabianca Barbaresco Bordini 2019
$70
Tightly wound, with a compact matrix of tannins putting a grip on the cherry, raspberry, mineral, tar and tobacco flavors. Shows energy, along with a kernel of ripe fruit that lingers on the long aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2045. 800 cases made, 100 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.
