Marco Porello 2008 Nebbiolo d'Alba
Regular Price: UK£11.99
Special Price: UK£10.19
- Grape Blend: Nebbiolo
- Origin: Italy, Piedmont
- Producer: Marco Porello
- Style: Medium Bodied Reds
- Tasting Note: Marco Porello's Nebbiolo is the best value example of this variety we have tasted. Nebbiolo reaches its peak with the great (and expensive) wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, but Marco has managed to capture all the fragrance and elegance of this variety whilst at the same time making it easy to drink, and does not need any laying down.

- Producer: G. D. Vajra

- Tasting Note: Vajra makes a modern style of Nebbiolo with a deep ruby colour and strong fragrance, but it has not sacrificed its elegance and complexity, not the chewy tannins typical of this variety.
