Ettore Germano

Intense light gold with orange, bright. A little restrained on the nose, slightly reductive, apricots, dates, baked apple, slight hints of honey and resin. On the palate with a broad entry and progression, very ripe fruit notes, appears ripe and somewhat settled overall.

This is an intriguing wine with enthralling flavor, depth, and richness from the unique and obscure Nascetta grape. Nascetta is a native Piedmontese variety that has been rediscovered in recent years and grown on the hills of Novello. If Grüner Veltliner, Assyrtiko and Chenin Blanc were to have a love child, it would be Nascetta. The wine opens with a delicate floral bouquet, followed by notes of citrus, stone fruit, sage, and thyme. It has a beautiful mineral backbone, balanced acidity, and a touch of tannin, as it spends about five days in contact with the skins during fermentation. It ends with a long and pleasing finish.
