Terre del Barolo Langhe Nascetta 2018
Piedmont, ItalyTerre del Barolo is a co-op of 300 families, starting in the 1950s with a founding core of 21. From sandy clay soils in Novello and Alba, this nascetta was destemmed, fermented and rested in stainless on lees over 5 months. Ample almond, wild lemon, Asian pear pack the compact palate, smoothed by a generous lees bed through a lightly saline, bitter twist finish. A fuller wine with ample freshness and interest, and one that would well suit grilled scallops or yellow veg curry dishes.Tasted: 29 December 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | private liquor stores |
