We are thrilled to add a Nebbiolo to our range and what a wine. The perfect introduction to the most prestigious grape of Italy!

TECHNICAL

VINEYARD

Layered clay and limestone soils from vineyards near the famed town of Castiglione Falletto. Fruit selected from vineyards 300-400 m above sea level - mostly Southwest facing. Spring frosts reduced production, good rainfall in June helped see through drought conditions in the summer months. A hard-growing season was rewarded with fantastic quality fruit. Fantastic vintage.

WINEMAKING

100% Nebbiolo, handpicked fruit, destemmed, 6-8 day maceration at controlled temperature, pumped over twice a day. Short aging in large concrete tanks.

TASTING

What a wine! Bright purple and garnet highlights. On the nose delightful floral bouquet. Medium body, classic bright red berries, a little tar, roses and spice. Lovely weighted tannin gives a the perfect persistent finish. Delicious!

WINE REVIEWS

Fruit from mostly south-west facing sites in Castiglione Falletto. Handpicked, destemmed, 6-8 day maceration at 26 degrees with twice daily pump-overs before aging for six months in concrete tanks. Deep-set aromas of dark cherry, plum, dried cranberry, and gentle cinnamon spice straight off, followed by tar and ripe red florals. Some nice complexity, prettiness, and depth of aroma at this price point. The palate has nice fruit weight, intensity and prettiness, too - red rose, morello cherry, red plum and cranberry are wrapped up in very assertive powdery tannins and red floral acidity. Nice length, too. This is a winner at the price point, with good complexity, varietal character, and firm structure.
