Blue flower, truffle and ripe berry aromas form the inviting nose along with a whiff of camphor. Smooth and savory, the full-bodied palate delivers raspberry compote, ripe Morello cherry and baking spice alongside tightly woven, polished tannins. Drink 2024–2029.


--------THE PRODUCER--------

Ascheri

Since 1880, the Ascheri family have been making great wines from Barolo and the surrounding region. Today Matteo overseas the vineyard and winemaking operation, whilst his siblings run a very traditional restaurant attached to the winery, and his mother watches over the whole operation. Vibrant, bright wines using a modern winery with a traditional approach.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the red grape varietal behind the King and Queen of Italy's red wine scene: Barolo and Barbaresco. These regions are up in Piemonte where it is also made under the region of Langhe Nebbiolo, which is less complex as the aforementioned regions. Whilst it is not widely planted across the world there are some stunning examples in Australia and California. Red fruits and florals are the hallmarks of Nebbiolo's aromatics and the best examples of Nebbiolo are ageworthy for up to 50 years.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Piemonte

These are all the wines of Piemonte, a region in the northwest of Italy. It is famous for its red wines made from Nebbiolo and is home to the two super regions of Italy: Barolo and Barbaresco.
