Castelli Estate Nebbiolo Russian River 2018

California can grow any grape well, but for some reason it can never really duplicate the same essence of the Nebbiolo grape in Italy. Sure, California makes good Nebbiolo as wine, but it is not the same. Castelli is the only producer that changed our view, this wine has the earthy, wet barrelroom wall and soul that the wines of the Langhe possess. Red fruits, orange peel, petrichor and the professional grade acidity and tannins.
