Antoniotti Bramaterra Riserva 2015
$80
This has developed nicely, featuring a beam of pure cherry boosted by raspberry and floral aromas and flavors. There is a crisp feel to the finish, however, this stretches out nicely, with the red fruit echoing on the long, minerally finish. Nebbiolo, Croatina, Vespolina and Bonarda. Drink now through 2032. 54 cases made, 30 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.
