Alvento 2006 Aria Nebbiolo
Having made wine in Tuscany for 17 years, Bruno and Elyane Moos moved to Niagara and planted nebbiolo, deciding the climate was similar to that of Piedmont, where nebbiolo makes famed barolo. This pale red shows the grape’s firm, tannic structure and lifted sour cherry, embellished with cedar, black pepper and licorice. It’s intense, slightly raw and sour-edged—like many Italian reds—with surprising length. Vintages, April 17. LCBO 167874
