Lower ABV You may well remember that the original “recipe” for Tuscany’s Chianti Classico included the famed Sangiovese blended with softer red grapes and a splash of white grapes to balance Sangiovese’s hearty tannins. A similar tradition emerged in the Piedmont’s Roero region, where the best red grape – Nebbiolo – was often too acidic and tannic to enjoy solo. Grow a little of the region’s white grape, Arneis, in the same vineyards, ferment it with the Nebbiolo and, boom: a delicious country wine for everyday enjoyment was born.
This is 80% Nebbiolo co-fermented with 20% Arneis and aged briefly in stainless steel. The Arneis helps the aromas really pop with scents of ripe raspberry and strawberry fruit accented by notes of berry blossom, spice and leather. Juicy and fresh on the palate, with tangy-ripe berry and cherry fruit, baking spice, and summery floral flavors and nicely fine-grained tannins at the end. Looking like a darker rose, it's a terrific match for salami, cheese, pasta and red sauce, pork and poultry, and takes a chill nicely for solo sipping at 12% alcohol.
For You If: You're looking for something just as thirst-quenching as a rose but with more body and character; you want to try a juicy/fresh "chillable red" - this one's delicious!
Not For You If: You're looking for classic Nebbiolo structure, intensity and grip - this is more of a juicy/tangy rose with a bit of extra color.
