Cascina Val del Prete Roero Vigna d Lino 2013
$39.98QuickviewVM9292 Points! The estate's 2013 Roero Vigna di Lino is powerful, dense and explosive. Lavender, violet, spice and bluish-hued fruits give the 2013 much of its distinctive personality.

This is a terrific expression of Roero Nebbiolo. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media, 2017
