Wine Enthusiast - July 2022 - Langhe Nebbiolo Sbardaja 2018
SCORE: 91
This wine is a perfect time capsule for the warm 2018 vintage. The juicy and ripe scents of baked cherries and strawberries define the primary aromas, but the regal nature of Nebbiolo shows up later, with herbal notes mixed with savory spices and dried roses. The wine is smooth as the tannins are integrated and the wine is well balanced. This is a good wine for those new to Nebbiolo.
