ORGANICALLY FARMED
100% Nebbiolo
Like the wines of Lessona or Ghemme, this shows the most elegant and ethereal side of Nebbiolo, with a medium to medium-light body, and an intense bouquet of small red berries, leather, licorice root and mountain herbs. Supported and framed by a vibrant line of acidity and finely-meshed, velvet-textured tannins.
"For those who love wonderfully refined and stunningly perfumed Nebbiolo in large old wood, this is not to be missed...
"The cantina’s highest emotional, cultural, and finely tuned craftsmanship Magda delivers is her flagship wine, 2016 Coste Della Sesia ‘Castellengo,’ The 2015 was spectacular already, but given the choice of starting with that slightly more rustic but wonderful version or the more perfected and precise 2016, when tasted side by side, there was really no choice. If we were in the year 2013 today, during perhaps the height of Alto Piemonte’s market share, this wine could’ve been one of the most talked about in the entire region, if tasted blind–its appellation while tasting might deter people from acknowledging how fabulous it really is. Also entirely composed of Nebbiolo from a single plot of 25 years, it peaks at 370 meters but is on a steep slope. In the cellar, it’s also kept from exceeding 22° C during fermentation to preserve more fruit for its three years in old 15hl barrels. " - THE SOURCE IMPORTS
