About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Nebbiolo from the Langhe.

Grapes

100% Nebbiolo.

Vinification

The grapes undergo a selective manual harvest, cold maceration and gentle pressing, followed by fermentation at controlled temperature.

Ageing

Made by the traditional method. The wine matures on its lees in bottle for 24 months before disgorgement and dosage.

Tasting profile

A lively rosé with a fine, persistent perlage. Delicate cherry aromas are framed by rose and violet, giving the wine an elegant, restrained aromatic character.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif and particularly with shellfish and other fish-based dishes. It can also accompany an entire meal. Cellar life is 2–3 years.

Label / history

Initially conceived as an experiment, Neboise was developed as a distinctive sparkling expression of Nebbiolo rather than a still rosé.
