Nebbiolo d'Alba "Michet" DOC 2020

The label is an elegant one. One that immediately makes you think of a historic Piedmontese winery. No frills. Super essential. The wine, Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC Michet, on the other hand, needs no tricks to convince you of its high quality. We are talking about a pure Nebbiolo that comes from one of the most suitable areas for the cultivation of this eclectic variety. Calcareous clayey hills that produce beautifully structured grapes with fragrant and fruity aromas. Michet, as few people know, is the name of a particular clone of Nebbiolo, characterised by small and scattered bunches capable of producing wines full of colour and extract. The wine is then aged in small oak barrels and then, before bottling, it is blended in the traditional large Slavonian oak barrels that contribute to its harmony and balance. The result is a red wine characterised by a beautiful ruby colour tending towards garnet. The bouquet combines the fruity scents of raspberries with the ethereal and spicy scents of violets and vanilla. In the mouth it is a full and harmonious wine. Well balanced, it has sweet tannins, not too evident, and a delicate woody note. A nicely structured red, it goes well with tasty hors d'oeuvres, rich first courses and roasted or stewed meats. It is also excellent with a fine selection of cured meats and mature cheeses.
