While drinking this, I thought it was quite different from the big, tight Nebbiolo I'm used to. Turns out it's from Nebbiolo Rosé, a related but different grape, which is lighter and very perfumed. Even though it's young, this is a beautiful, expressive, floral wine, with restrained tannins. I can only imagine it will get even better with time, but I had to open it...
