Apostrofo 58
By F.lli Facchino, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
A varietal Nebbiolo grown at Rocca Grimalda, first made in 2016 and dedicated to the founders, grandparents Giorgio and Rosaria, who arrived from Campania in 1958.
Tasting notes
Red moving toward garnet. An elegant, incisive bouquet moving from fruit toward sweet spice, liquorice, cocoa and balsamic notes. Full-bodied and warm on the palate, with a pleasant, enveloping, elegant tannin and long persistence.
