Radici e Filari – Risa – Nebbiolo – 2017
A blend of Nebbiolo and an ancient gamay clone whose vine age is at least 90 years old! Made without temperature control, it is stabilized by Piedmont’s cool autumn and cold winter, conserving its natural characteristics then bottled in the spring/summer as the temperature begins to rise and aged for a further 6 months. The nose is complex and fascinating with clear notes of roses, dried, black cherry, blackberries and raisins. In the mouth good tannin structure with notes of wild black cherry and plums.

THE COMMUNE OF DOGLIANI is the spiritual heart of Dolcetto. A grape that while perhaps not as ‘noble’ as its cousin Nebbiolo is no less beloved or part of the cultural fabric of Piedmont.
