Tasting Notes: This wine is a Nebbiolo rose’ pet nat. The nebbiolo grapes are destemmed and crushed after harvest, it sits on skins 12/18 hours, which gives it the rose colour. Then the juice is spontaneously and slowly fermented , no additions made. Once dry, meaning all the sugars have been transformed in to alcohol and carbon dioxide (6/8 weeks), is racked and moved outdoor to avoid malolactic fermentation, no sulfates are added. Kept on fine lees until spring time and than racked before the sur tirage, made with must that has been frozen at vintage. This is a versatile rose', that works pretty well as an aperitif but also matches great with food, especially in spring and summer. Fresh and zippy but with a pleasant weight to the palate and some tannins, it shows floral/fruity characters and some funky notes. This is a super fun and pure wine that you will not find in many places.

Tasting Notes: Hand picked fruit, left to sit overnight to cool down, crushed and de-stemmed the day after into open fermenter either wood or stainless. After a few days of maceration when the cap rises Lapo start plunging daily from once a day up to 4 times in middle of the fermentation. Drained off to press when bone dry, usually after 4 weeks on skins. Lapo does combine free run and pressings. Racking of the wines happens at least couple of times in between the pressing off and the completion of Malolactic fermentation before the entonnage happens. Only neutral barrels are used. The wines are made with no addition of selected yeasts, malo bugs, copper sulphate, fructose, tannins and the sulphites are kept to a minimum. BAROLO del Comune di La Morra is a blend of two excellent crus Bricco Rocca and Fossati , which are spontaneously fermented in open fermenters. Despite the hot July and August vines were not stressed and the fruit conditions were excellent, picked early in October. This Barolo shows pure fruit character, great depth and beautiful tannins, an absolute beautiful expression of the Nebbiolo grape.

Tasting Notes: Great clear and precise expression of the nebbiolo grape, aged in old tonneau. This langhe nebbiolo could easily be mistaken for a baraolo as it has spent 18months in wood.
