No one crafts wines that burst with Piemontese flavor and character for $20 like Marco Tintero - an extraordinary wine for the price. Nebbiolo's (the red grape of Barolo and Barbaresco) classic notes of cherry, red roses and spice. It's quite pale - which is typical of good Nebbiolo - telling us it's not been over extracted in the winery. The super flavours in this 2023 come straight from the vineyard. It's got a bit of chew, some bright cherry and wild strawberry and savoury spice, leather and cracked bracken on the nose that goes through to the palate, which has some lovely juice, but coated in tannins, but good ripe tannins, that help the flavours amplify with food, perfect alongside tagliatelle al ragù or even just some cuts of salumi.
