Orlando Abrigo Italian Red
A small lot of Piedmont Nebbiolo, kept in Commack.
The story behind Orlando Abrigo
Nebbiolo is the great red grape of Piedmont in northwest Italy, the variety behind Barolo and Barbaresco. It is pale in color but firm in tannin and high in acid, with aromas of rose, tar, red cherry and dried herbs that open up with air. Young Nebbiolo drinks brighter and more approachable than its famous village bottlings, and it still rewards a little patience in the glass.
We keep Orlando Abrigo Nebbiolo in the Italian red section here in Commack, one or two bottles at a time. It is a small label for us, so stock moves quietly. Call the store and we will tell you what is on the shelf.
