Nicolini Piccola Nera

"This is the smallest estate we import. Two hectares, one of which is planted to vines. The land is worked exclusively by the family and was inherited from grandparents. Fidelity to old methods and indigenous grapes are the guiding principles at Nicolini."-Piedmont Wine Importer's website

Giorgio and Rossana Nicolini, alongside their son Eugenio Nicolini, run this estate. They have a deep dedication to producing wines from indigenous grapes, and this piccola nera is case in point of that. An extremely lightly tinted red wine, it sits at 12% abv. Very fresh, with notes of peach skin, red apple, rhubarb, and tea leaves. It's very light body and low tannin make this very food friendly.
