The 2008 Roero is a gorgeous wine redolent of sweet red cherries, flowers and spices. There is plenty of Nebbiolo typicity in this mid-weight, highly articulate wine. There is no shortage of class and elegance here. Still, I would choose to drink this relatively young. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018.
Once again, Almondo has turned out a fabulous set of wines. Readers who want to explore Roero should start here.
