Bric du Nota is a 2.5 hectare vineyard just outside of Monteu Roero, the highest wine-producing village in the Roero. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aging for 12 months in large casks (2,000-10,000 liters) and then at least several more years in bottle before release.
This is exceptionally elegant, almost understated Nebbiolo with the classic Roero perfume (from sandy soils). It’s Nebbiolo as it used to be made — where structure, spices, and minerals are at least as important as fruit and with arro-like acidity and well-aged tannins. The extra aging in bottle results in a wine that is released when it’s showing the qualities that make good Nebbiolo worth drinking: secondary aromas and flavors and the complexity that comes with age. |
