2016 Cascina Bruciata Nebbiolo Usignolo

2016 Cascina Bruciata Nebbiolo Usignolo Red wine from Italy.

This Nebbiolo offers a splendid example of full and balanced wine: on the nose it has notes of pink, strawberry and violet; at the same time, it gives elegance and fullness to the taste, with tannins present but gently harmonized. It goes well with seconds or aged cheeses, with the typical Piedmontese bagna caoda or with grilled red meats and game.

This shows more herbs and cedar as well as lavender, elderberries and thyme but also slate and fresh blue fruit. The palate’s tightly wound but full and shows grainy tannins, finishing long. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Wine Advocate Notes

89 Points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate: “The 2016 Nebbiolo Usignolo is a delicate and softly-textured wine that would make an excellent pairing partner to thinly cut tajarin ribbon pasta with meat ragù. The wine opens to a light garnet color and dim color saturation. The bouquet is fragrant and perfumed with rose, pressed violets, white cherry, cassis, licorice and ash. This is a great food wine.” 6/17

James Suckling Notes

91 Points, James Suckling: “This shows more herbs and cedar as well as lavender, elderberries and thyme but also slate and fresh blue fruit. The palate’s tightly wound but full and shows grainy tannins, finishing long. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.”

If you like your wines big, bold, and red, Nebbiolo needs to be on your radar. Hailing from Northern Italy’s Piedmont region, this grape is known for producing powerful, full-bodied, and mercilessly tannic wines—all while looking as pale as Pinot Noir! Most famously, it’s the grape that goes into Barolo and Barbaresco, two of the world’s most revered (and more expensive) wines. Though as you’ll soon find out, Nebbiolo is also in a number of more affordable, entry-level styles of wine from Italy and beyond.
