Description Elio Altare 2013 Giárborina Langhe Rosso  100% Nebbiolo | Alc: 13.5% – Smooth and Supple La Morra, Langhe Rosso, Italy Winemaker’s notes: Color: ruby red, with garnet reflections Nose: intense balsamic nose, aromas of little red fruits, rose petals Taste: fresh, with aromas of little red fruits, raspberry, equilibrated and persistant Serving suggestion: red meats, soft to medium aged cheese Critical Acclaim: “Made with Nebbiolo grapes from Elio Altare’s Arborina vineyard, the 2013 Langhe Giàrborina is a savory red wine with rich layers of dark fruit, tobacco, tilled earth, licorice and fragrant blackberry fruit. This is a muscular expression of Nebbiolo that delivers good structure and acidity. The firmness of the mouthfeel is this wine’s best quality.”  92 Pts – Wine Advocate Tipsy Knitter Wines – Your Seattle based, online wine shop
