Nebbiolo 2019 750ml

98-point rare Nebbiolo, the legendary grape of Barolo. Remarkable depth, refined tannins and exceptional structure.

Vintage 2019

Nebbiolo, the noble heritage grape of Piedmont - home to Barolo and Barbaresco - is notoriously exacting in where it will truly thrive. Early to bud and late to ripen, it demands both patience and precision, often yielding sparingly and unevenly.

Since 1997, we have carefully selected buds from our healthiest, best-performing Nebbiolo vines and grafted them onto established rootstock, dedicating prime vineyard sites to this remarkable variety. These warm, sandy gravel soils, interwoven with fine silt and clay, provide the structure and balance Nebbiolo requires to fully express its character.

The 2019 vintage reflects this uncompromising approach. Handpicked from exceptionally low yields of around 500g per vine, it is a wine of quiet stature, depth and longevity, confidently standing alongside the great expressions of Barolo and Barbaresco.

Hans' Winemaking Comments

Extended cold soak, followed by a slow natural fermentation and long post-fermentation maceration, built structure and refined tannins.

Aged for five years in seasoned French puncheon and a further two years in bottle, allowing the wine to settle into balance and quiet harmony.

Unfined. Unfiltered. Purely natural.
