Exactly what I wanted
Grabbed it on a recommendation from the shop and I am glad I did. The finish is much longer than I expected.

From the importer
Why we buy this one.
Steep south-west slopes wrapped in autumn fog — nebbia, which is where the grape gets its name. Aged in a mix of concrete egg and neutral wood, blended just before bottling. Serve it a touch cooler than you think — around 15°C is right.

Not a shy wine — give it twenty minutes in a decanter and it opens right up.

Perfect with Sunday dinner
Paired it with a slow-cooked ragù and it was close to perfect. Will be reordering by the case.
