Hi Folks, With Winter right around the corner, what better way to help with the transition to those cooler days and nights than with a brand new Italian Nebbiolo from its spiritual home of Piedmont! This new addition to European Wine Store is called Babo Langhe Nebbiolo 2021. So what's it like?Well this is highlighted by floral notes and bright, pure red berry fruits that join subtle earth and spice notes on a complex nose. The palate is just as good: juicy with fine tannins and an approachable, medium-full bodied style. But it's not just us that have been impressed by this new release from Italy, with 2 x of Australia's most trusted wine writers Gary Walsh and Tom Kline sharing in the ground swell of admiration!
''Deep set aromas of dark cherry, plum, dried cranberry and gentle cinnamon spice straight off, followed by ripe red florals. Some nice complexity, prettiness, and depth of aroma. The palate has nice fruit weight, intensity and prettiness, too – red rose, morello cherry, red plum and cranberry are wrapped up in very assertive powdery tannins and red floral acidity. Nice length, too. This is a winner with good complexity, varietal character, and fine structure.'' 93 Points, Tom Kline, The Wine Pilot
“Red fruits, peppery, along with some floral notes. It’s medium-bodied, tannin has a gentle chew to it. Fresh, with some cranberry crunch to acidity, and a dry and gently ferrous finish of solid length. It has energy and plenty of character. Lively. Good to drink.'' Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
