Paitin di Pasquero-Elia 'Starda' Langhe Nebbiolo, Piedmont, Italy 2021 Case (6x750ml)

Here's a delightful wine that is simple and transparent but which also shows a good deal of varietal character. The Paitin 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Starda has a pretty bouquet with fine points of wild berry, licorice and chopped mint. That little menthol hint goes a long way to add lift and energy to the bouquet and the general flavor profile of this lean-bodied red.
