Marziano Abbona Barolo Pressenda 2016
$65
Super silky and delineated, this red packs a laser beam of cherry, raspberry, rose and mint aromas and flavors. Still taut and a bit austere, yet continues to unfurl slowly on the long, mineral-tinged finish. Best from 2025 through 2043. 1,100 cases made, 50 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.
