Description:
The elegance of this Nebbiolo-based wine is apparent with its layers of lithe, dusty tannins. Complex, with knitted flavors of dark berries, tar, and dried rose petals. Producer: Rovellotti Vintage: 2015 Size: 750ml ABV: 13.5% Varietal: Nebbiolo Country/Region: Italy, Piedmont The elegance of this Nebbiolo-based wine is apparent with its layers of lithe, dusty tannins. Complex, with knitted flavors of dark berries, tar, and dried rose petals. Decant alongside a feast of short ribs, lamb shanks, or oxtail in earthy, gamey sauces. The truly Ghemmese Rovellotti family has inhabited this small fortified town since at least the late 15th century, keeping alive its long tradition of producing some of the Alto Piemonte's most enchanting and profound wines. The family vinifies and ages its products in a mosaic of tiny underground cellars stacked high with decades-old botti, spread around Ghemme's Ricetto, a 10th-century central walled compound that protected the townsfolk during times of strife and war. Antenello's fanatical devotion to his hometown extends beyond his ancient cellars: he has collaborated since the 1980's with the University of Milan to re-establish the natural environmental and ecological balance of his lands, and eventually strives to use zero chemicals in his viticulture. His fidelity to his vines, the area's local insects, and to the land itself are a model for vignaioli everywhere. The family's 15 ha are in Ghemme's Baraggiola subzone, the southernmost in the appellation, and are among four main parcels: the Valle d'Enrico (planted to the Erbaluce for the family's Passito), the Valplazza (planted to Nebbiolo bottled as Colline Novarese), the Chioso dei Pomi in Baraggiola's center (recognized as a prime site since the 17th century and planted to Nebbiolo and Vespolina for the estate's Ghemme), and the Costa del Salmino (also long-recognized as a prime site and planted to the domaine's oldest Nebbiolo vines, form the spine of the Ghemme Riserva). Rovellotti's Ghemme wines, alongwith his other cuv'es, shine as some of the brightest stars in this exciting region, brimming with potential and waiting to be discovered.
