Canale, Roero, Piedmont, Italy. Nebbilo. 14.5%. Cork. Approx $A30.It's not easy to find an Italian Nebbiolo from the Piedmont region for $A30, so if you spot this, go long. . .
Bright and clean, dried herbs and notable alcohol on the nose - an inauspicious but steady start. Quite delicious in the mouth - firm, meaty and savoury - a strapping wine with lovely length and definition. There's a hint of creaminess in the mouth, but mostly it's ink, tar and sinew. Very good. 90-91. Now - 2015+
