I am big fan of Nebbiolo rosato wine, and this (L229) was my first-ever bottle of Virna's. It is a big wine (even if only 13.5%) and needs a LOT of air to shine. I popped, poured and tasted the wine and then decanted it and drank the bottle over three nights. On first pour it was closed, with a rough, aggressive mouthfeel, not good. After one hour the wine had already improved remarkably, and by the end of night one it was enjoyable. It reached its peak on nights two and three, and was delicious. The wine has a typical Nebbiolo rosato orange color, a modest aromatic profile, and a nice flavor profile and finish. A very good food wine, this MUST be decanted. I suspect it will evolve nicely for 3-5 years.

Nothing real exciting about this wine, but has a little more structure than your quaffing rose's. Good Product
