From Tenuta Il Cascinone, this single estate Nebbiolo has an appealing and early-drinking style.
The Nebbiolo vines were planted in 2005 on the lower slopes of a south-facing and very steep site at the south-east corner of the ‘Soliti’ plot - less than 1 hectare in total. After harvesting, and 15-16 days on skins, the wine is fermented in stainless steel, followed by up to two years in oak - 75% in botti and 25% in barriques (not new).
Lightly floral aromas with notes of plum and berry fruit balanced by savoury characters. The palate is juicy with ripe plum and black cherry, supple tannins and a lightly spicy finish.
Enjoy with steak, roast vegetables, and tomato-based pasta dishes.
