"A wild, exotic wine, the 2022 Nebbiolo Colline Novaresi offers up fresh flowers, kirsch, mint, star anise, orange peel and Alpine herbs. The aromatics alone are compelling, but the wine is just as beguiling on the palate, where it reveals striking complexity and a great deal of character. I loved it."
