The Story Behind the Wine: Rossello Vini, based in Piedmont, has long been dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect the true character of the region’s Nebbiolo grape. The Nebbiolo D'Alba DOC comes from vineyards surrounding the city of Alba, a premier area for Nebbiolo cultivation. Known as the “king of Piedmontese vines,” Nebbiolo thrives in the area’s calcareous and sandy soils. This 2020 vintage was aged for 12 months in oak barrels, providing structure while maintaining the grape’s delicate floral and fruity qualities​.

Pairing Suggestions:

• Red Meat: Ideal with braised beef or lamb, where the tannins complement the richness of the meat.
• Game: Pairs well with wild boar or venison, enhancing the wine’s earthy notes.
• Cheese: Enjoy with aged cheeses like Pecorino or Taleggio, balancing the wine’s vibrant acidity.

Winemaking & Terroir: The grapes are hand-harvested from vines planted in limestone-rich soils at higher elevations, ensuring natural acidity and freshness. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel before being aged in oak barrels to enhance complexity without overpowering the natural fruit flavors.
