| Vineyard Notes: | Nebbiolo takes its name from ‘Nebbia’ or fogs that fill the steep sided valleys of the Piedmonte region in Italy. It is our first variety to show new buds each spring and generally the last harvested. One of the oldest blocks of vines on Vineyard 28, first planted in the early 2000s. Cane pruned each year, with the canopy allowed to drape to protect the grapes from the sun. |
| Winemaking: | 100% Nebbiolo Handpicked and destemmed. 5% of fruit is added as whole bunch to the ferment. Wild yeast ferment. Towards end of ferment MLF is commenced. Tank is closed and further skin contact is maintained for 4 weeks prior to pressing. After pressing the wine is transferred to large format aged French Oak for 14 months, prior to bottling. |
| Enjoy With: | Sharp, strong cheeses. Risotto with truffle. Game and wild meats. |
