Made from 100 percent Nebbiolo grown in calcareous clay then fermented in stainless steel and aged in both French oak and the bottle, the 2007 vintage is a standout.

“Malvirà Trinità Nebbiolo is better than most entry level Barolo by a long shot because it’s bigger and more integrated. I get notes of black currant, licorice, and dark berries with high tannin and integrated wood which makes for a silky finish.”
