Stefano Bellotti Étoile du Raisin Vino Rosso

Étoile du Raisin is a red wine from Stefano Bellotti in Piedmont, made from just over three hectares of vines worked biodynamically. It ferments in oak barrels with natural yeasts only, matures on fine lees for 12 months in oak tonneaux, then rests for a further three years in oak tonneaux. It is ruby red with purple reflections. The nose is fleshy and complex, with ripe plum and jujube, followed by balsamic and floral hints and a touch of leather. The palate is soft, intense and balanced, with a lively freshness, and the finish is very long.
