Anzivino Gattinara 2012 Piemonte - Italy

91 Points Wine Enthusiast:

Made wholly with Nebbiolo, this opens with earthy aromas of crushed herb, star anise, menthol and woodland berry.

Reflecting the nose, the linear palate delivers dried Marasca cherry, cranberry and clove framed in taut refined tannins. Fresh acidity lends balance while it closes on an iron note.
