Winemakers Comments
Nebbiolo is a grape variety that we hold dear to our hearts. Having worked and travelled to Piedmont in Italy the home of this seductive variety it’s not hard to fall in love with both the landscape and the wine. It’s an enigma of a grape showing delicate beautiful notes of rose and violets balanced by thick tar and anise alongside powerful tannins and vibrant acidity. For a wine that looks so pretty it certainly knows how to pack a punch!
