Tasting- Terre dei Savoia Nebbiolo d'Alba

Name: Terre dei Savoia Nebbiolo d'Alba

Variety: 100% Nebbiolo

Region: Piedmont

Country: Italy

Year: 2015

Price: $6.95

Review: "Its perfume is quite complex, with spicy notes of cinnamon and vanilla, pleasant and characteristic; at the same time it is also fruity, with cherry and strawberry notes, and at the end we find dried fruit and pleasant toasted almond aroma. The palate has an interesting structure, characterized by a soft tannins, which together with alcohol and acidity, create harmonic and elegant sensations." From: Vintage Cellar

My review: I did not like this wine very much. It was very complex which made it hard to pick out individual components. It was surprisingly dark in color and looked almost like a dessert wine. It really smelled fruity, especially cherry and red raspberry. It also tasted oaky and like vanilla. It was dry and tannic and had a long finish, almost like taking a shot of alcohol. 

Food Pairing: I did not drink this with food.
