A. & G. Fantino Rosso dei Dardi

A. & G. Fantino Rosso dei Dardi 2014.

This wine is Nebbiolo from Barolo, but they didn't use any oak in the process. This is fermented and aged in stainless steel tank for 6 months to preserve the grape's fruitiness.


This is very fruity wine: the fuchsia color and the fruity aroma are almost like Gamay.  It's fun to see solely the fruity side of Nebbiolo.
Kind of wine you want to bring to picnic. 
JC wants to make Sangria with this.
Easy to drink, nothing like Barolo.

I wouldn't call this my favorite wine, but tasting wine like this, which is made from the same grape and the same area as Barolo, it's interesting to see how different outcome can be depending on the condition and wine making.
By the way, A. & G. Fantino makes great Barolo Chinato.
