Alpha Box & Dice ‘Fog’ Nebbiolo 2017 – A Mystical Journey in a Glass

A wine shrouded in mystery, the Alpha Box & Dice ‘Fog’ Nebbiolo 2017 is an ode to the grape’s namesake—the Italian word ‘nebbia’ (fog), evoking the mist-covered vineyards of Northern Italy. But this Australian take on Nebbiolo is anything but ordinary. Aged for three years in seasoned large oak and barriques, this textural and aromatic reddelivers a sensory experience that lingers long after the last sip.
