Description
In a nutshell:
This vibrant Nebbiolo from Piemonte bursts with ripe cherry and plum - a delightful Italian red ready to enjoy now, no further ageing required.
The lowdown:
Fresh, juicy red fruit is what this is all about - plums and cherries with a dash of spice. The grapes come from a small, sun-drenched Nebbiolo vineyard. It's made in a classic style - lots of contact with the grape skins and some time spent mellowing in oak barrels. The result? A wine that's easy to enjoy - fruity, a little bit savoury, with a smooth finish and a hint of spice.
The Producer:
Il Cascinone, dating back to 1920, is a revived gem of Piedmont's Monferrato hills. Once a revered Barbera d'Asti specialist, the estate saw a decline before Araldica rescued it in 1999. They've breathed new life into its steep, demanding vineyards. Of the 102 hectares, 70 now flourish, expertly divided to suit grapes like Barbera and Merlot on sunny slopes, with aromatic Moscato and Sauvignon Blanc thriving elsewhere. The 'Il Cascinone' range showcases this care, with hand-harvested fruit and the Araldica team's skilled touch guiding each bottle.
When to drink:
A youthful Nebbiolo like this is perfect for a midweek roast chicken supper, or perhaps a simple plate of sausages with mash.
Suitable for Vegans
