Nebbiolo d'Alba Occhetti 2003
Prunotto (Italy)
Nebbiolo d'Alba (Piedmont)
This Nebbiolo d'Alba shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet
red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of cherry, raspberry and violet
followed by aromas of strawberry, plum, rose, vanilla, licorice, cinnamon
and chocolate. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic
attack and appreciable crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full body,
intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, plum and
raspberry. Nebbiolo d'Alba Occhetti ages for 12 months in cask followed by
4 months of aging in bottle.
