Wine: Canavese, Over $60

A Barolo by any other name...This is a beautifully crafted expression of Nebbiolo from the very northern reaches of Italy.  Still tightly wound, it has a hint of anise and truffle on the nose, followed by bright cherry fruit.  It's beginning to show leather and earth which will develop further is it ages.  This wine is drinking well now (decant it for an hour or so before drinking), but will be even better in five years.  A true gem, and a wine we're proud to carry.
