Cieck – Canavese Nebbiolo – 2015

The Cieck company is located in San Giorgio Canavese, a few kilometers north of Turin, in the typical area of ​​Erbaluce di Caluso, a historic native vine already famous in Roman times.
The winery was founded in 1985 and differs from other wineries in the area, because it is the first company to focus on and produce the Erbaluce grape in a quality sparkling version.
Over the years the winery increases the range of products, but focusing exclusively on native vines such as the white Erbaluce, and for the reds Nebbiolo and the rare Neretto.
Nebbiolo in this area gives more elegant results than the nearby Langhe, this is due to the morainic soils rich in sediments and sand of the Turin hills very close to the mountains. In this case the wine has aged for 18 months in tonneaux and is elegant, but with vertical tannins with good persistence, while the bouquet is extremely fragrant of rose, violet, cherry and licorice. A good Nebbiolo, pleasant that plays on drinkability, but also suitable for supporting important dishes such as meat and semi-aged cheeses.
