2011 Ass.(3xBrun, 3xCereq, 3xLaSerra, 3xRocche dell'Ann.Torr)

Sweet, silky tannins support sweet red berries, freshly cut flowers, cinnamon and mint in the 2011 Langhe Nebbiolo S. Francesco Fontanazza. Layered, pretty and totally nuanced, the 2011 Langhe Nebbiolo will give readers a glimpse of the Voerzio style. This is a gorgeous, radiant red to drink now and over the next handful of years. In its very best vintages, the Langhe Nebbiolo will give many Barolos a run for their money. The 2011 is just a notch below that, but it will provide plenty of pleasure and immediacy at an affordable price.
