Description
Authentic white grape from Piemonte that was increasingly dying out. It was not until 1994 that the first white wine made from 100% Nascetta came onto the market. There are now only 20 (!) winegrowers who make a 100% Nascetta for commercial sale.
Diego Conterno has planted two vineyards with Nascetta. One in 'Regione Ferrione' d'Alba. South-West facing at 480m altitude. The other in 'Ginestra' in Monforte d'Alba at 500m altitude. Both have a clay, limestone marl subsoil. Guyot training.
The winery, which was founded by Diego Conterno in Monforte d'Alba between 2000 and 2003, is actually much older. Diego had already been active for 20 years with his cousins Claudio Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino. Today he is helped by his son Stefano. The vineyards grow Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Nascetta. Since 2006, the vineyards have been cultivated organically and partly biodynamically. Only since 2017 have all wines been certified organic and since the 2019 vintage also DEMETER (biodynamic).
