Sparkling
Nebiò
By Rapalino, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Rosé Metodo Classico sparkling wine from Nebbiolo grown around Alba, 48 months on the lees. Marco says he needed all his patience waiting for it to be ready for disgorgement.
Tasting notes
Very pale pink. The nose has rose petals, ripe red apple, liquorice and field herbs. The palate is clean and fresh, recalling almond and overripe apple, with a very long finish that keeps the freshness up to the end.
Pairs well with
Goes well with artisanal cured meats, elaborate and succulent starters, risotto alla milanese or red spaghetti allo scoglio.
