Pelissero Rosso, 2005
This Lange wine from Piedmont shows a deep ruby red color and is almost opaque. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry, violet and plum followed by aromas of blackberry, licorice and cocoa,. The mouth shows full body, intense flavors of plum, blackberry and cherry and BIG tannins that grip your mouth.. The finish is long and complex. This wine is 80% Barbera, 10% Nebbiollo and 10% Dolcetto. This is a well made wine that was lovely now, but should evolve beautifully with some good cellaring. I would best describe this wine as a "Super Piedmontese". It is available at Esquin Wine Merchants, in Seattle, for about $13. We enjoyed this with our Autumn Pizza Party.
