2022 Azienda Agricola Davide Carlone Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo

The 2022 Azienda Agricola Davide Carlone Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo is a distinguished red wine from Italy's Piedmont region. Crafted exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes cultivated in the Colline Novaresi DOC, this wine reflects the unique terroir of the area, characterized by porphyry-rich, acidic soils at elevations between 400 and 460 meters. The meticulous vinification process includes a 15-day maceration on the skins with daily pump-overs, followed by malolactic fermentation with natural yeasts and aging for at least 20 months in stainless steel tanks. The result is an austere, harmonious, and elegant wine that embodies the essence of Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte. 

Nose: Vivid aromas of small red fruits, cherry, and blood orange are complemented by floral notes of violet, peony, and rose, with a delicate hint of spice.

Palate: The wine presents a full and enveloping mouthfeel, with a well-integrated tannic structure that reflects its regional character. The persistent finish is both savory and fresh, showcasing the wine's balance and depth.

Finish: A lingering and refreshing finish, marked by a harmonious blend of fruit and floral notes, underscored by a subtle spiciness that adds complexity.

This Nebbiolo pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes. Its bright acidity and structured tannins complement roasted meats, such as lamb or beef, and it harmonizes beautifully with game dishes like venison or wild boar. For pasta lovers, consider pairing it with rich ragùs or truffle-infused sauces. The wine's floral and red fruit notes also make it a delightful match for aged cheeses, enhancing the overall dining experience.
