2017 Renato Corino Nebbiolo d'Alba

After 20 years together, Renato Corino and his brother Giuliano decided to split their family's renowned Barolo estate in 2005, allowing each to forge their own path under different labels. Renato's 8-hectare vineyards stand in the prized La Morra crus of Rocche dell’Annunziata, Arborina, Pozzo, Conca and Roncaglie, mostly Nebbiolo along with Barbera and Dolcetto. A brand new, state-of-the-art winery was built to steer production in the same perfectionist fashion that he runs his vineyards. Renato Corino is neighbours with cult Barolo figure Elio Altare and is cousins with the iconic Luciano Sandrone, both of whom are his mentors.

Deep dark red core with black tinged edges and a dark red hue. On the nose subtle rose petal scents intermix with morello cherry and red currant fruit notes. Rich and flashy the palate is loaded with succulent dark to morello cherry and spicy red currant fruits which are infused with dried herbs. Earth and traces of spicy leather are also evident. Finishes dry with bright fresh acidity and firm, slightly chalky tannins which give the back palate a taut, muscular feel. Superb fruit intensity and depth with a long chewy yet very satisfying aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
