The 2012 Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco is a solid effort, although the wine finishes on an unexpectedly hard note. The bouquet offers classic Nebbiolo aromas of wild berry, licorice and pressed rose. But the mouthfeel shows evident astringency that may not fully integrate. This edition of Perbacco represents a blend of fruit from Fossati, Le Coste, Liste, Bricco Boschis, Bussia, Rocchettevino and Boiolo.
