GIOVANNI ALMONDO ROERO 2022, Italy

The 70-year-old vines really deliver on complexity—the cherry and redcurrant flavors are incredibly vibrant, with a subtle tobacco finish that lingers nicely. This is a wine that feels both rustic and refined, perfect for a cozy evening with some aged cheese.

That earthy nose of lavender and cedar is exactly what I hope for from a good Nebbiolo, and this delivers beautifully. The palate is lively with cherry and redcurrant, making it incredibly easy to drink now despite its structure. I'm already planning to buy another bottle for next month's pasta nigh

The 70-year-old vines really do make a difference — the depth of flavor is incredible. I got bright cherry and a hint of tobacco that lingered beautifully. This earthy Nebbiolo is perfect for a slow dinner with friends.
