Nebbiolo Langhe Usignolo Cascina Bruciata 2016 (750ML)

89 Points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo Usignolo is a delicate and softly-textured wine that would make an excellent pairing partner to thinly cut tajarin ribbon pasta with meat ragù. The wine opens to a light garnet color and dim color saturation. The bouquet is fragrant and perfumed with rose, pressed violets, white cherry, cassis, licorice and ash. This is a great food wine." 6/17

91 Points, James Suckling: "This shows more herbs and cedar as well as lavender, elderberries and thyme but also slate and fresh blue fruit. The palate's tightly wound but full and shows grainy tannins, finishing long. From organically grown grapes. Drink now." 10/17

88 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "Bright cherry, raspberry and tobacco flavors mark this fruity, accessible red. Balanced and moderately long on the finish. Drink now through 2020. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 2,000 cases made." 2018
