Paride Iaretti VELUT LUNA Nebbiolo Coste della Sesia DOC (2016) - Piemonte
THE GRAPE
Nebbiolo.
THE WINE
Some proper old-school Nebbiolo from Alto-Piemonte, home to some of the highest altitude vines of the region. Pretty floral aromas of rose alongside those darker, tarry notes. The wine has a lovely, irony mineral core derived from the volcanic soils over which the vines are planted—a pure Nebbiolo of the outstanding balance with a dragging drink.
THE PAIRING
Great as a full-meal wine, in combination with first courses and a second of meat, to try with spaghetti with meatballs.
