An interesting expression of Nebbiolo, the Monchiero Carbone 2017 Roero Riserva Printi offers nice concentration and textural fiber with dried blackberry and plum, followed by toasted hazelnut, powdered cocoa bean, almond husk and tilled earth. This hot vintage brings on many of those dried fruit and nutty aromas for sure, with an open-knit and textured finish. This toasty and earthy red could be quite nice with a platter of roasted chicken and onions. About 8,000 bottles were produced.
