Nebbiolo d’Alba D.O.C. “Cascinotto” 2018

The history and beautifully represented landscape of their Langhe heritage is depicted on their labels. For three generations they have been dedicated to their vines - low yields creating concentrated yet approachable wines. 100% Nebbiolo from 40 year old vines Diano d’Alba, Piedmont, Italy. Aged 20 months in French barriques, 50% new.

Glistening ruby red with highly perfumed aromatics or fresh red fruit, floral and savory spice balanced held together by earthiness.

Savor the sip, the palate has a rich warmth to the structure. The bright acidity is well integrated with the fine gentle tannins combined with 14.5% abv you don’t even realize it’s there. Pronounced flavors of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, rose petals, cedar, tar leather, mushroom, earthy and savory tomato leaf finish on anise and mint.
