Fontanafredda – Nebbiolo 2015 – Langhe  DOC

The nose is powerful and racy. It reveals notes of graphite, racy minerality and small notes of black cherry, cassis associated with a discreet hint of blueberry, blackberry, cardamom, tea, spices as well as a hint of Cuben pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, harmonious and offers a beautiful mineral frame, a beautiful tension, a slight juiciness as well as a slight suavity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of black cherry/griotte, fleshy/fresh raspberry and small notes of crushed cassis associated with a subtle hint of boysenberry, spices as well as a very slight hint of chocolate (in the background), tobacco and an imperceptible hint of caramelization on the finish/persistence. Tannins are well-built.
