1978 Nebbiolo d´Alba, Terre del Barolo
Terre del Barolo gets a lot of bad rap, and in most cases justifiably so. But this old Nebbiolo d´Alba proved that they, at least then, could make a decent wine.
The nose is round and mature with notes of dried red berries, polished furniture, rosehips and wet earth. A fine balsamic note.
The taste is dry and nicely structured with some still kicking tannins and a fine warmth. A tad short though. A very nice Wednesday drink.
