RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Nascetta is a grape variety cultivated since antiquity in a single municipality. Originating from Novello (Cn), in Piedmont, in the Langhe, Nascetta (also called Anascetta or Nas-cëtta) miraculously survived extinction. It certainly wasn't easy for a small white grape to resist in a territory dominated by Nebbiolo and its noblest and most prestigious expressions: Barolo and Barbaresco. Mentioned in ampelographic sources since the 1800s, Nascetta is described by Rovasenda as "extremely delicate grape and exquisite wine," and Lorenzo Fantini speaks of it as a wine "of finesse equal to Moscato". In the past, it was often used as table wine or vinified together with Favorita and Moscato. Only in the 1990s, thanks to the passion and patient work of some producers, it was rediscovered and valued in purity (https://www.gamberorossointernational.com/news/the-6-best-nascetta-from-the-langhe-selected-by-gambero-rosso/?utm_term=81725+-+The+6+best+Nascetta+from+the+Langhe+selected+by+Gambero+Rosso&utm_campaign=NL+DAILY+ENG&utm_medium=email&utm_source=MagNews&utm_content=8712+-+3798+%282024-04-06%29)

Nascetta has a lot of structure and not a lot of acidity, but it does age very, very well
