Pizzini La Volpe Nebbiolo 2019

The wine is garnet in colour with brick red tones. The nose shows initial notes of raspberry and tar then as the wine opens up we see violets, dried rose petals and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is smooth and elegant with tar, raspberries and star anise. The finish is long, with hints of dark chocolate, elegant and powerful tannins, which linger.

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.
