Isole E Olena Proprieta Sperino Uvaggio Coste della Sesia (2018)
750mL / Chianti / Italy
Composed mostly of Nebbiolo, the king grape of Piedmont, Uvaggio has a very balanced and open profile.
On the nose, it offers a refined bouquet of Morello cherries and forest berries, accompanied by prunes that resemble the slightly evolved nose of a Burgundy.
On the palate, it's an explosion of red fruit, leather, undergrowth, and spices. The wine's complexity, combined with the well-present mineral character of the terroir, makes it irresistible. The tannins are perfectly balanced, and a fresh acidity carries this wine with great length and beautiful elegance.
This wine's style is completely different from the better-known terroirs of Langhe, such as Barolo or Barbaresco, which are the more commonly known areas for the Nebbiolo grape. For fans of great Burgundies, this bottle is for you!
