Cossaro Monferrato Nebbiolo 2022

Nebbiolo is the prized grape of Piedmont and its top red, Barolo. These wines tend to be highly priced and take a few years to mature and open out. In Cossaro, you can enjoy the great flavours and finesse of this grape without the long wait or the pain to your wallet. It’s from Monferrato, a hilly area in the southeast corner of Piedmont, the soils of which lend a freshness and elegance to its wines. It grows many native varieties, but its most prized is Nebbiolo. The winemaker is Marco Cossaro, who makes both the fine Barolos and this younger, fresher Nebbiolo for the Sartirano family. Appealing dark cherry fruit with rose petal and violet hints, this is a silky red with a drive of freshness. Ideal with grilled meats or pasta ragù.
