Franco Conterno – Langhe Nascetta del Comune di Novello – 2019

What strikes me about this winery is the linearity in the production of the wines, each grape variety is perfectly represented according to its original characteristics. Nascetta is an indigenous grape native to Novello, which has always been considered a difficult vine, totally unadaptable and problematic in terms of plant work so much so that it risked extinction in the post-war years. The Conterno family, with west-facing plants in the commune of Novello, produces less than 5,000 bottles of Nascetta, where it is vinified in steel tanks, to continue aging for 5 months in the same containers. Here we find the typical aromatic scents of the Nascetta grape variety, with nuances of green apple, well-balanced acidity and body, long persistence and a slight softness accentuated on the finish. An excellent wine for light aging!
