"The 2019 Colline Novaresi Spanna offers up scents of sweet dried cherry, mint, tobacco, dried herbs and crushed rose petal. Deceptive in its light-bodied structure, this ethereal red has plenty of depth. The savory, mineral side of Nebbiolo is very much on show."

"A vibrant, firm red, featuring cherry, plum, licorice, iron and eucalyptus flavors. The dense, dusty tannins are linear and chewy, while the finish is long and infused with mineral notes. Drink now through 2035. 3,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported."
