Poderi Colla Bricco del Drago Rosso, Langhe DOC 2015

First released in 1969, this was the first 'Super Vino da Tavola' in the Piedmont, possibly the first in Italy.
Deep, ruby-red with fine, nuanced aromas, reflecting the ideal interplay of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto. Notes of blueberries, plums and cherry with hints of dried herbs and sun baked earth. Taut, concentrated plum and black fruit on the palate alongside wild cherry and fresh redcurrants. There are also hints of spice, coffee, bitter chocolate and some complex savoury notes. A beautifully balanced wine with the concentration and structure to mature over a decade or more.
