Description

From: Casot, Treiso, Piedmont, Italy
Varietal: Nebbbiolo

Taste: This wine is translucent ruby-red with garnet reflections in the glass. The wine releases an expressive and layered bouquet, where delicate floral aromas of rose petals and violets intertwine with fresh red fruit notes of wild strawberries, raspberries, and tart cherries. Subtle undertones of dried herbs, anise, and crushed mint emerge, adding depth. As the wine continues to open, gentle hints of sweet spices, cedar, and a touch of earthy minerality. On the palate, Juicy red berry flavors—cherry, cranberry, and red currant—lead the way, balanced by fine-grained tannins that provide texture without overwhelming the wine’s structure. A subtle savory character, reminiscent of dried rose petals, fennel, and a whisper of black tea, lingers alongside a delicate mineral streak. The wine finishes with finesse, leaving a lingering impression of red fruit, spice, and orange peel.

Pairing: Langhe Nebbiolo’s bright acidity, fine tannins, and red fruit-driven profile make it a versatile food wine. Its natural acidity pairs well with tomato-based dishes, as the acidity in wine and food complement each other. The tannins benefit from moderate fat or protein dishes, such as roasted meats, braised dishes, or aged cheeses, which help soften the wine’s structure. Its subtle earthiness makes it an excellent match for mushrooms, truffles, and root vegetables, while avoiding overly spicy or sweet dishes prevents imbalance. Traditional Italian dishes highlighting fresh ingredients and slow-cooked flavors, like braised meats or risottos, allow the wine’s nuanced profile to shine. Simple, flavorful preparations work best.

About: Cantina Nada Guiseppe, also known as Giuseppe Nada Wines, is situated in the Langhe region of Piedmont, Italy, producing wines that express the unique character of this UNESCO-protected landscape. In 1900, Antonio Nada, originally from Trezzo Tinella, moved to Treiso, settling in the locality of Casot. Casot is a historically significant area (MGA) within the Barbaresco appellation and has been owned by the Nada family for over 120 years. At the time, viticulture in the region was vastly different from today. Poverty and a lack of technical resources made life difficult, particularly during the wars when farming was focused more on subsistence than on fine wine production. However, in the 1950s, in the Langhe and Barbaresco area, a clearer focus on the region’s winemaking potential began to take shape.
