The 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo is gorgeous. The open, soaring bouquet is immediately arresting. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, cinnamon, dried flowers and kirsch are all finely knit. All the elements are so well balanced. Readers on a budget will adore this. The 2020 is a blend of fruit from Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero and Alba. It spent a bit more than a year in cask. Best of all, the Nebbiolo is one of Massolino's largest production wines, so it should be relatively easy to source.

This red displays well-defined cherry and strawberry fruit offset by savory notes of juniper, eucalyptus and tea. Turns slightly chewy on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 4,200 cases made, 800 cases imported.
