Pizzini La Volpe Nebbiolo 2023

Like our Roberto—who did not rest on his laurels—this gentle Nebbiolo requires patience, precision and persistence. It’s all in the strategy. Whole bunch, handpicked fruit results in a softer style, announcing boiled lolly, rose petal and red berry characters. Fresh, youthful and surprising. Open right now for a feast of succulent Peking duck and hatching well-formed plans.

The Nebbiolo chosen for this wine was selected from a vineyard that naturally produces more floral, rose and violet notes and medium styled tannins. The Nebbiolo grapes were crushed and fermented in open-top fermenters for five days before the wine was press and stored in old, large barrels, which allowed the wine to retain its natural varietal characteristics.
