A beautiful Langhe Nebbiolo that is 'Pinot-like' in style from this most exciting of winegrowers in Neive, now headed up by brother and sister duo Beatrice and Marco Rivetti. We have followed Cascina Vano with such excitement and are very happy to be now adding them to our Piedmont portfolio.
The 2024 sees grapes from three different estate vineyards. Half of the blend is from a vineyard (located in the middle of a hazelnut grove) in Neviglie, a tiny village in Alta Langa at higher altitude (400-450m), and with a different microclimate than Neive (a lot more wind along with cooler temperatures). This site gives the wine its lifted, floral and fresh characters and fine acids.
30% of the blend comes from younger vines in the Rivetti MGA, where there is solid compact red clay together with the Sant'Agata marls, these provide characterful structure and tannins in the wine.
Finally, 20% from a vineyard in the Basarin MGA. A young vineyard of six years that is beautifully exposed over Rabaja MGA. Here we have a sandy red soil of laminated marls. This site brings a lot of pure, juicy, fruity notes - beautiful cherry and wild strawberry.
The blend of the above three sites all adds up to a vibrant, brilliant and true take on Langhe Nebbiolo. Simply amazing aromatics - sweet and pure red fruit, but floral - rosehip and violet and old school dustiness. The palate is SO full of tart red berries - crunchy, crunchy cherry, and a hint of blood orange. A clean, savoury minerality and a touch of earthiness/goodness. So drinkable, but so spiky with amazing acid/tannin intensity whilst remaining drinkable, complex and so, so lovely.
Again, a beautiful style of Langhe Nebbiolo that is simply so right for this spring and summer.
