Langhe Nebbiolo DOC from Bricco Carlina, named "Volubile" (Italian for "moody") because Nebbiolo can express itself in many different ways throughout its life. Intense ruby red with garnet reflections, showing ripe cherry and plum, violet, and spicy hints of pepper and vanilla from wood aging.
Volubile is where Bricco Carlina lets Nebbiolo breathe without Barolo's weight — pure, moody, and honest.
