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.
