Silvio Giamello 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo 'Villa Gentiana' Piedmont Italy

"With only two hectares of vines to his name, Silvio epitomizes the family-run, traditionalist grower, going about his work in the vineyards and cellar the way he learned from his father. As the Langhe Nebbiolo is a selection from Vicenziana, the same parcel that produces the estate’s Barbaresco, the wines share a beauteous finesse on the palate. Giamello’s 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo is fresh and vibrant, evoking cherries, roses, and a touch of tar. Nebbiolo’s natural acidity makes this wine incredibly versatile at table, pairing well with roasted squash, sautéed mushrooms, roast fowl, polenta, and pizza, among many other dishes.  While Silvio may be too humble to say so himself, there’s no question that he crafts wines of purity and structure with authentic Piemontese aromas—the real deal, not to be missed."   KermitLynch.com
