2018 Matunei Bagardo

100% nebbiolo from Monferrato under crown seal from the gang at Matunei - zero sulphur added.  Idiosyncratic- this is a nebbiolo for the adventurous drinker. 

93 Points, Mike Bennie - "It’s juicy and bright, a faint spritz, maybe? So what. Cherry juice and cranberry tang, truffle and fennel, wild herbs and a lick of pepper. It drinks with utter pleasure, kind of loose knit but the finish brings in fine, silty tannins and refreshment as does the crushed rock minerally acidity going on. Sheesh, a winner, but so out of the box. Love it. Would drink all day."
