LE23 | Nebbiolo

FEBRUARY RELEASE

LODI, CALIFORNIA

NEBBIOLO
The regal Italian red you know and love with a bit of laid-back California charm. Nebbiolo maintains its strong tannin on North American soil but reins in some boldness, showing more voluptuous fruit and floral undertones. Aromas hint at rose and violet with notes of earth and spice. Cherry and raspberry flavors are forefront, while licorice, plum and chalky earth notes add depth. A gratifying wine with strong structure and balance thanks to Nebbiolo’s characteristic high tannin and acidity.

LODI, CALIFORNIA
Nebbiolo does well in Lodi, situated in the middle of California’s Central Valley. The Mediterranean climate is tempered in part by cool breezes blowing inland from the San Francisco Bay area, which promotes the grape’s natural acidity. Two mountain-fed rivers run through the region bringing rich granite-based minerals to the soil, lending complex flavors. These mineral rich sandy soils in conjunction with the dry growing season encourage more concentrated flavors.

SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Prosciutto & Olive Pizza
Also a great match for: braised short ribs, caponata, spiced lamb tagine, white truffle fettucine
