Tasting Notes
Rovellotti Colline Novaresi "Valplazza" Nebbiolo is sourced from the Valplazza vineyard in southern Ghemme and offers a luminous ruby robe. The nose leads with bright cherry and raspberry tones, subtly underlined by rose petal and forest floor aromas. On the palate, brisk acidity and gripping yet polished tannins deliver precision and tension, with lifted red fruit framed by a mineral edge. Elegant and poised, this Nebbiolo charms now yet has the structure and clarity to evolve beautifully over time. - Chris L
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
