The 2019 Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba is on the side of more structured examples of this bottling yet shows potential for approachability with a few years of patience.
Red cherry and raspberry perfumes mix with rose petal and licorice framed by a hint of pepper. On the palate it is mid-weight and nicely structured with red cherry and blackberry fruit.
It shows great sweetness in the mouth but is never cloying – it is a wine that speaks softly yet forcefully.
The tannins are long ripe and very structured but delicately framed and its long dry finish ends with a mineral note.
