StolpmanNebbiolo
The article states:
Attempts to make compelling expressions of the grape seldom result in wines with any resemblance to the Piedmontese greats.
Well...doh...why would you ever want to do that anyway? Why not AltoPiemonte/Val d'Ossola/Valtelline Nebbiolo. Or even...gasp...a unique expression of Calif Nebbiolo??
The Nebb at Stolpman was ripped out some time ago. The good news is that Nebb has been replanted there to appease TomStolpman. This time around:
This time around, we will gently circulate the juice and skins and not worry about the color. We hope this will lead to a prettier, more delicate expression of the grape, albeit with an appearance a lighter shade of red.
The wine may not play well in Monktown, but it might...just might...be a better wine. We can only hope.
Any, nice read by Peter.
