Alessandro Rivetto Langhe Nascetta Albori (75cl, 13%)

A white wine from Langhe, Piedmont, made from 100% Nascetta, a rare native grape of the region. Alessandro Rivetto was among the first producers to champion this semi-aromatic variety, first experimenting with it in 2002 and committing a full vineyard in 2012. The wine undergoes long, controlled fermentation at 15–18°C, followed by ageing exclusively in stainless steel, with at least six months further maturation in bottle before release. It is bottled at 13% ABV in a 750ml format. The nose shows fresh white flowers, sage and thyme. The palate is clean and mineral-driven with tree fruit notes, while the finish is crisp and saline with lingering sage and stony minerality.
