2008 Pio Cesare Barbaresco Low Inventory while a touch of briocheFrom: Piedmont, Italy Varietal: Nebbiolo Critical Acclaim: Moderately saturated medium red. Perfumed, high pitched aromas and flavors of raspberry, redcurrant, rose petal, tobacco, orange peel and exotic spices. Juicy, dense and suave, with a light touch thanks to superb inner mouth energy.
