Scarpa Bric Du Nota Nebbiolo D'Alba

A magnificent Northern Italian red wine displaying a beautiful ruby red color that elegantly transitions into subtle garnet reflections along the rim. Masterfully crafted by the historic, quality-focused Scarpa estate from hand-harvested grapes grown on the sun-kissed, mineral-rich sandy hillsides of the Roero homeland, this expressive Nebbiolo opens with an intense yet delicate bouquet of wild violets, fresh red cherries, and wild raspberries. The complex, rustic nose is beautifully supported by regional characteristics of fragrant tea leaves, sweet pipe tobacco, crushed wild herbs, and damp forest floor. On the palate, it balances a juicy, medium-bodied red fruit core and a racy, linear alpine acidity with finely structured, shapely tannins that display quiet confidence, concluding in a remarkably persistent, dry, and harmonious finish layered with an elegant streak of savory umami minerality.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with traditional Piedmontese cured meats, agnolotti dal plin, roasted game meats, rosemary-infused lamb chops, or aged cheeses.
