Made entirely from clone 9 of the Gruppo Matura which is said to produce a more perfumed, brighter wine, which is what Nebbiolo IX is all about. Fragrant, with prompt seductiveness and aromas of ripe yet bright and crunchy red berries. Delicate and clean, like biting into a red cherry straight off the tree. There is a Ruby Red-like citric quality that keeps the palate fresh and vibrant all the way through. The tannins are fine and polished. If it wasn’t for those hints of white truffle and amaro it could be mistaken for a pinot noir. My biggest struggle – not topping up the glass after every sip.
Born and raised in Naples, Italy, Andrea came to Australia in 2013 after graduating with an environmental science degree. While working as a waiter in between jobs, Andrea found he enjoyed hospitality much more than his previous career during a stint working at MoVida Sydney. After a short apprenticeship at 121 BC, Sydney’s ground-breaking gem for Lo-Fi Italian wines, and a few months with the Lotus Group, Andrea moved to Melbourne and reunited with Movida. He’s been curating the highly regarded Wine List at Movida Melbourne, including one of the country's finest Spanish selections, for the past 3 years while studying for the WSET diploma.
