Spice, red fruits, cherry, and dried flowers.

Looking for good QPR nebbiolo based wine, this is one for
you from Barbaresco. This lovely wine would likely be developing during the next
10 years. But why wait??? It is enjoyable now. Serving at the right temperature
would surely be one of the key. Love the smoothness and its elegant of
traditional style. Sexy perfume!!! Bring me some nice tenderloin or good quality
parmesan and yeah.......Salute!!!
