Colombera & Garella Bramaterra 'Cascina Cottignano' '18

From the volcanic soils of Alto Piemonte, this Nebbiolo-dominant blend offers a mesmerizing bouquet of dried rose, sour cherry, and forest floor with emerging tertiary notes of leather and tobacco. The palate is both powerful and refined, with firm yet silky tannins carrying flavors of red currant, blood orange, and smoky minerality that earned 95 points. Aged 30 months in large oak casks, it's just beginning to show its full potential but will continue evolving for another decade. Decant for several hours and pair with wild game or aged cheeses to experience Northern Piedmont's answer to Barolo.
