Cascina Vengore Belgardo Terre Alfieri Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo displaying cinnamon, liquorice and vanilla.

The Vèngore valley has always been considered an agricultural paradise, with its mild climate and fertile lands being recognised since Roman times. Here, the noble Nebbiolo is king. A realm of biodiversity with 100% organic cultivation, which embraces 26 hectares in one single plot around a traditional Piedmontese farmhouse.

Cascina Vèngore is a dream started from 3 indigenous varieties with infinite potential: Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Arneis. The vinification practices follow the traditions of Piedmont (steel, amphora, and large wood barrels), with minimal intervention.
Having spent 16 months in Slavonian oak barrels, this wine is garnet red in colour, and its red fruit flavour profile is overlaid with spices. A classy number, which is generous and well balanced.

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo

Hailing from Northern Italy’s Piedmont region, Nebbiolo is known for producing powerful, full-bodied wines with high acidity and high tannins, all while looking as pale as Pinot Noir. They have distinctive red-fruit aromas (red cherry, red plum), notes of dried herbs and floral characters (rose, violet). Most famously, it’s the grape that goes into Barolo and Barbaresco, two of the world’s finest wines. 

Nebbiolo is often matured for extended periods of time, both in oak and in bottle, which helps soften its high levels of tannin. With age, the best examples gain aromas of mushrooms, tobacco, coffee and leather.

The name Nebbiolo derives from ‘nebbia’, the Italian word for fog. During harvest, which generally takes place in late October, a deep, intense fog sets into the Langhe region where many Nebbiolo vineyards are located. Alternative explanations refer to the white, powder-like natural bloom on the grapes, which forms as they reach maturity.
