Cappellano Nebbiolo 2007




The oldest Piedmont's native red grape, the Neb(b)iolo, Teobaldo pronounced it as it was once called, without the double b “…because it is sweeter”.
 
In the glass meeting a garnet red transparent, diaphanous. A balsamic wave, precise and clean, with spicy bouquet, gradually reveals intense aromas of pipe tobacco in the foreground, followed by undergrowth, leather and iron, cherry, blackberry and violet.
 
These clear olfactory signs are coherent on the palate. The tasting, very fresh, is marked by the strong presence of tobacco and the recall of the other flavors respecting the nose. Bright acidity, deep tannins and whole mastership of the alcohol content – here we travel to 14,5 % - enhance the harmony and the balance, never questioned, of the sip.
 
A nice, long, furrow minty-spicy, ends this cup by high drinkability, with lasting and admirable persistence.
