On the nose, it offers enticing notes of cherry, rose petals, and subtle hints of truffle, typical of the varietal's character in this esteemed area. The palate is elegantly structured, showcasing a medium body that balances richness with finesse. Its acidity is vibrant and bright, enhancing the overall freshness, while the tannins are notable yet refined, contributing to the wine's age-worthiness. The fruit intensity is prominent, allowing the luscious flavors to shine through, and culminates in a dry finish that leaves a lasting impression. La Spinetta Bordini is a delightful pairing for hearty dishes and makes for a remarkable choice for any Nebbiolo enthusiast.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
