100% Nebbiolo fruit from the volcanic soils of Gattinara in Alto Piemonte. Lovely copper orange colour. Amaro edged aromas of blood orange, cranberry and tangerine lead the charge with a faint orange blossom note in the background along with campari herbs. There’s a slatey mineral sense, too. The palate follows suit with a lovely bite of blood orange bitterness, before the pomegranate and tangerine notes mirror the nose. Great structure here, with a sheath of powdery Nebbiolo tannins framing the fruit from the moment the wine hits the palate, leading to an architectural finish carrying bitter orange peel notes long. Savoury and delicious. We all need more Nebbiolo Rosato in our lives, and they should look like this.
