Luigi Giordano Brut Nature Rosé 2023

$41.00

Location: Italy, Piedmont

Winemaker: Luigi Giordano

Grapes: Nebbiolo

Soil: sand, clay, silt

Winemaking: After soft pressing, rosé maceration is performed for two hours, with cold draining of the must. Fermentation in stainless steel. The Champagne method ('metodo classico') is used, with the second fermentation occurring in the bottle. The wine is aged for at least nine months on its yeasts.

From the Importer The Piedmont Guy: Brut Nature Rosé is 100% Nebbiolo harvested from north-west facing vineyards in Barbaresco, averaging between 30-35 years old. The perfume is intense and ample with notes of raspberry, red berries, citrus fruits and a hint of wilted roses. The flavour is fresh and full-bodied with a soft, clean aftertaste and a slightly tannic finish. Perfect as an aperitif, but also ideal for serving throughout the meal and is especially well-matched with shellfish sauces, baked fish, fish soup, salami starters, pasta with meat sauce and roast white meats.

A stone’s throw from Barbaresco’s village centre, the winery and its vineyards were founded by Giovanni Giordano in the 1930s during a time of profound crisis in the Italian wine world. After a period of growing and selling grapes, Giovanni’s son Luigi made the bold decision to vinify his own grapes in 1960. Luigi Giordano is now a fourth-generation winery whose vineyards in some of Barbaresco’s most prestigious crus, including Asili and Montestefano. One particular Barbaresco bottling from the cru of Cavanna showcases the winery’s elegant, hands-off style of winemaking and currently represents the only single-vineyard cru of its kind on the market.
