Tasting - Terre dei Savoia Nebbiolo d’Alba

Name: Terre dei Savoia Nebbiolo d’Alba
Variety: Nebbiolo d’Alba
Region: Alba
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $20, on sale for $6.95

Shop Review: Its perfume is quite complex, with spicy notes of cinnamon and vanilla, pleasant and characteristic; at the same time it is also fruity, with cherry and strawberry notes, and at the end we find dried fruit and a pleasant toasted almond aroma. The palate has an interesting structure, characterized by soft tannins, which together with alcohol and acidity create harmonic and elegant sensations.

My Review: This wine reminded me of alcoholic wipes. After a bit more smelling, I could detect a slight cinnamon and peanut or almond aroma. When tasting, I was surprised that it actually really light in tannin structure I thought. I did find it to be a bit acidic since the tannin structure was lighter. There was a cherry aftertaste too.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
