A collaboration with Norwegian importer Non Dos. A Nebbiolo without any oak, long maceration and bottled under crown-cap to seal in the freshness. A true and unique expression of the variety and place. Real minimal intervention winemaking.
Layers of layers. One to ponder on. Lavender, tobacco, dried herbs, black plums on the nose. Followed by fine pour-over coffee, olive tapenade and blackberry. Silky mouth coating tannin for a long finish.
Plenty of sediment in this bad-boy. As there should be too. Gently decant off bulk sediment for an hour or so before serving. Or not, no biggie.
The vineyards are certified organic but they also utilise biodynamic methods.
I'll let the makers Luigi and Bruna explain their philosophy:
"Regarding our wines we like to say they are wines with low anthropogenic impact. To work with low anthropogenic impact means to defend the integrity of the territory itself, preserve the Wine’s individuality from the standardization that chemicals, industrialization and technology have brought to farming."
