Sweet dried red cherry, mint, sweet tobacco, orange peel and incense are all lifted in the 2017 Langhe Nebbiolo. Translucent and pretty, the 2017 is a touch ethereal, but there is a good bit of tannic grip. Because of low yields in Barolo, Maria Teresa Mascarello made this wine from purchased grapes from San Rocco Seno d'Elvio, which is in the Barbaresco zone.

Aged for two years in oak cask. Just mid ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Finely perfumed, sweet red fruit with a hint of iron. Super-elegant palate with persistent, coating tannins. Fluid. (WS)
