2017 Langhe Nebbiolo, Elio Grasso, Piedmont
Gianluca's Langhe Nebbiolo is surely one of the region's best. And at this price it's a total bargain. Delicate in colour, with notes of rose petal and ripe seville oranges, alongside pure raspberry fruit, it punches well above its weight for complexity and interest. That said, it's also the perfect bottle to 'pop and pour' - and wonderful demonstration of Nebbiolo's versatility.
