Prima Materia Nebbiolo 2020

$2899

Nebbiolo outside of Piedmont is one of wine's great long shots. The grape is famously unwilling to travel, turning pale, thin and aggressively tannic almost everywhere it is planted outside its home fog belt, which is exactly why the handful of people who make it work are worth paying attention to. Prima Materia has built its Lake County estate around Italian varieties, and Nebbiolo is the boldest bet in the lineup. The 2020 has the signature the grape is known for anywhere it succeeds: light color that tells you nothing about the structure behind it, moderate acidity, and a tannic grip that wants either food or time. A genuinely uncommon California bottle.

Wine Enthusiast

92 points

"This wine is dark plum-hued, fresh, lively with aromatics of red plums, black strawberry, dried herbs, earth on the nose. The midpalate flavors are consistent with the aromas adding dried florals, cured meats, dried fruits into a mouthwatering dry finish. Aerate and enjoy with roasted pork loin." —Tonya Pitts
