~ . . . Italy’s answer to Pinot
This is for Pinot Noir fans. Or anyone who likes their reds more charming than powerful. The Italian Nebbiolo grape is exclusive to Italy’s Piedmont region, where it produces expensive wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco ““ however, editions with a broader designation such as Langhe are more affordable. I could drink a lot of this.
