About the wine

Tasting notes

With its distinctive lightly coloured, orange hue, a vibrant nose proves generous in both sweet and savoury aromas, with tar and orange amaro bitterness joined seamlessly by notes of bright, sweet cherries, redcurrants and a hint of dried oregano.On the palate, the red fruits are slightly more tart than on the nose, with redcurrants and cherries carrying freshness through to notes of tar and a pleasingly bitter finish where hints of the digestivo ferro chino meld seamlessly with soft yet persistent tannins.Thanks to extended barrel and bottle ageing, the 2017 Nebbiolo can be enjoyed now or cellared for up to 15 years.

The Grape

Nebbiolo

Often referred to as the king of red grapes, Nebbiolo is responsible for some of the greatest wines in the world. The regions of Barbaresco and Barolo, in Piedmont, Italy, create the most revered expressions of the variety and have set the benchmarks for the world over. Nebbiolo is quite light in colour, dry and delicate but packs a punch in aroma and flavour with notes of rose, tar, cherry, red berries, blood orange, licorice, leather, terracotta and earthy herbals. These wines have high acidity and high tannins, making them extremely age worthy that deepen in complexity over decades. Simply stunning wines!
