Cecilia Monte Nebbiolo

We think Cecilia is doing society a favour by making this entry level 100% Nebbiolo wine. Reasonably priced, but so expressive.  Using grapes from the Serracapelli Cru (the same vineyard as one of Cecilia's Barbaresco) gives the wine a medium ruby colour and an extraordinary body given it only sees minimal time in old oak. The high tannins are soft and well integrated for a wine of only 3 years age, giving the strawberry, red plum and black cherry fruit flavours plenty of space to shine. Give it 30-60 mins of air and you might also find dried herbs, fennel seeds, roast beetroot and leather boots too. A perfect wine for red sauce pasta or a creamy risotto.
