The Best Italian Wines Start With ‘B’ – Part 2

Jacob Gaffney  in Red Wines, Nebbiolo , , ,

This time around, InterWined are going only about ten miles away from last week’s Italian wine Barolo. That’s right we are going a bit closer to the sea with Barbaresco — the Nebbiolo-based wine that is often lighter and easier to drink than Barolo.

In this case, 2001 Cuscina Surio is a great example. It’s more on the clear side and it looks like it would be lighter than a Barolo. But, it’s also really tart, almost over-the-top sour. After an hour of being opened, it didn’t really open up; a testament to the fact that these wines may look and sometime taste young, but can age for awhile. The wine is £15 a bottle and gets 8.8 points.
