[91+ pts] Travaglini’s entry-level Nebbiolo offers terrific value, especially in this balanced and fruit-forward vintage. The 2018 Nebbiolo Coste della Sesia opens to a point of dark fruit, like blackberries or black cherries, followed by sweet peach or apricot. The wine boats beautiful, youthful exuberance with distinct purity and Nebbiolo authenticity. The finish is streamlined… If you love this noble grape from Piedmont and want to pair it with, say, your favorite flatbread or pizza, this is your wine. -M.L.
