This from the Valle d'Aosta producer Ferrando, famous for his Carema. According to the Neil Rosenthal website, this differs from the Carema in that it is not pure Nebbiolo but contains 30% Barbera.
The color is a bright, youthful mid-red, like young Chianti. Nose is very shy some mineral/graphite notes with maybe a touch of rose. The mineral theme continues on the palate, with a touch of ash, red cherries and tomato skin. Maybe a touch of glycerin richness, but not green in any way. Has modest length but quite harmonious overall, with more unity after being in the glass for an hour or so. Nice cool climate red. If I had to guess blind I might say a nervy cru Beaujolais. ($15, 12.5% abv)
Several months ago I also had the '05 Erbaluce di Caluso (white) from Ferrando, which was also strutting a lot of mineral structure. More green fruits, with a few floral touches. Not unlike good Muscadet, IMO.
