Boniperti “Favolalunga” Vespolina 2018
Ian d’Agata, in his authoritative book Native Wine Grapes of Italy, describes Vespolina as ‘…one of Italy’s best native grape varieties…’ and this part of northern Piedmont is its home. Medium red, not that different in color from Nebbiolo, of which it is a relative; spicy aroma and flavor (cinnamon, black pepper), cedar/sandalwood, red-fruited, mid-weight, really useful table wine. I will be drinking quite a bit of this.
