This Langhe DOC from the Vinum Vitae Est range is made from 100% Nascetta grown on clay and sandy soils, hand-harvested in the second half of September.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter destemming and crushing, the juice ferments at a cool 16-18°C and the wine then spends around five months in stainless steel on its lees, adding texture and richness. In the glass it is straw yellow, with a nose of good intensity showing floral and citrus aromas that set Nascetta apart from more neutral Italian whites. The palate is fresh, sapid and savoury, with a lingering finish. At 13.5% ABV it has real presence and can develop in bottle for a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 8-10°C. It is a great match for appetisers and first courses, cooked or raw seafood and fresh cheeses, and a rewarding choice for anyone wanting a white that is a little different from the usual Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout the producer\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerre del Barolo is a growers' cooperative based in Castiglione Falletto, founded in 1958 by local schoolteacher and mayor Arnaldo Rivera.
