Winery - Giacomo Vico
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Presented in extremely elegant packaging, this is a beautiful expression of Nebbiolo from Piedmont. Not as austere as Barolo or Barbaresco, this wine does offer familiar aromas of black currant, pressed violets, tar, licorice and leather. The wine is smooth, silky and structured on the close.

Dark for a blush wine, with a crimson hue, and forward and heavy in flavor, too. Shows red cherries, root beer and spices that are accented with brisk acidity, and finish dry. Not very complex or subtle, but easy with all kinds of summer fare.

Roero is a red, Nebbiolo-based wine from northern Italy that offers tight tannins and bright berry flavors. It’s a less formal cousin to Barolo and Barbaresco that would pair with chicken, pork or veal. This wine offers cassis and cherry overtones.

This wine is packed tight with plum and blackberry aromas and even a drying touch of Graham cracker. The wine is not too concentrated or rich, which makes it more appropriate with easy, home-cooked meals. On the close, it offers a ton of sweet, bright cherry fruit.
