Giovanni Almondo Roero 2018 `Bric Valdiana` (75cl)

Giovanni Almondo farms Nebbiolo in Roero, on the left bank of the Tanaro river opposite Barolo. This region is known for its sandier soils that provide the variety with a softer, more perfumed expression. The Giovanni Almondo Roero 2018 'Bric Valdiana' is a prime example of this terroir, showcasing the elegant characteristics that Nebbiolo can offer.

The 2018 'Bric Valdiana' is crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, aged for an impressive 18 months in large, untoasted Slavonian oak casks. The result is a wine that unfolds classic aromas of rose petal, red berries, and a gentle spice, inviting you to savor its intricate bouquet. This refined and expressive Nebbiolo captures the essence of its region, making it a standout choice among wine enthusiasts.

On the palate, this wine is structured yet graceful, showcasing fine tannins and vibrant acidity that provide both immediate appeal and genuine aging potential. The Giovanni Almondo Roero 2018 'Bric Valdiana' perfectly embodies the elegance of Nebbiolo, offering a softer, more approachable profile than traditional Barolo. It balances complexity with a lightness that allows for enjoyment in its youth, yet the depth of flavor suggests that further aging will only enhance its character.
