Nebbiolo by the Glass

Flavor profile

Rose petal, tar, sour cherry — angular tannins with a long savory finish.

Our take

The list leans Italian, and this glass is a textbook intro to Nebbiolo’s split personality: pretty aromatics up front, serious structure underneath.

Let it open for ten minutes if you can — the tar-and-cherry note becomes more legible once the wine catches some air.

Ingredients

• Nebbiolo (Langhe or Barbaresco pour)

Pairing recommendations

• Mushroom risotto — earthy cream softens tannin.
• Duck breast with cherry — fruit echo without cloying sweetness.
