La Biòca, Stërmà, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Piedmont, Italy, 2017

Quite a seductive nose of soft, sweet red fruits. The palate is grippy and surrounded by a wash of acidity, but there’s a good weight of succulent red fruit in support. There’s a macerated character to this wine, and while the oak threatens to dominate, the acidity just about keeps up. A good food wine.
