Description
Nascetta is the only real indigenous white grape variety from Langhe. In the past, it was mainly used to make sweet wines, usually for religious purposes, but its lovely aromatic complexity makes it ideal for a dry white wine. This Nascetta from Diego Conterno is a selection from two estate vineyards: Ferrione, on a hillside facing west/southwest; and Ginestra, facing east, in Monforte d’Alba.
This wine fully expresses the characteristics of its indigenous landscape. The color is a brilliant bright yellow. The savory and minerally flavors on the palate are accompanied by notes of citrus, pineapple, sage, and rosemary.
Ideal as an aperitif, or paired with sheep cheeses, fish, or white meat. To be consumed young, but also has excellent cellaring potential. Its longevity allows long aging in the bottle with interesting evolutions in flavor.
