L.A. Cetto Nebbiolo Private Reserve
WHY WE LOVE IT
- The L.A. Cetto Nebbiolo Private Reserve is a bold, full-bodied red wine from the Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California.
- This Mexican take on the Nebbiolo grape thrives in the region’s warm Mediterranean climate.
- The grapes are sourced from old vines averaging over 40 years of age.
Varietal Composition: 100% Nebbiolo
Elaboration: Hand-harvested grapes are fermented for 10 to 20 days and aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, followed by 24 months of bottle maturation.
Tasting Notes: The bouquet of baked black fruits and earth is modern and in good shape. This feels big and dense but structured, with blackberry, pepper, and mild raisin and prune flavors on the finish.
