La Spinetta Pin Monferrato Rosso 2004

Piedmont, ItalyEssentially Asti Superiore the Pin blend is 65/35 nebbiolo/barbera. Open spicy, smoky, coffee, vanilla, black cherry jam nose with leather, compost aromas with a touch of tar and black olive. Rich, round, dry and somewhat tannic but has some suppleness and the Spinetta's trademark acidity. Bright cherry, plum, floral, smoky, garrigue, vanilla, coffee, tar and compost flavours. Clean, fresh, tight and complex, needs 3-5 years to shed some tannins and integrate the oak.Tasted: 01 July 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
