Bera, Vittorio e Figli "Ninét" Vino Rosso

$31.00
Only 3 available

Asti < Piemonte < IT

Nebbiolo, 2023

Ever since we visited Alessandra Bera on her historic estate, we have been wanting to work with her wines again! That day, she treated us to an amazing lunch with her whole family and harvest crew, not to mention vineyard dog Archie. One of our favorites is this young vine Nebbiolo. Bera planted a single hectare in 2020, the estate took a bold leap into Piemonte’s most noble grape - and this is the first vintage from it. She makes the wine like its other reds. The bunches are destemmed and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks without sulfur or temperature control. The maceration is short at a week. The wine is aged in the same concrete tanks for 1 year and bottled unfiltered. Ninét is local dialect for "little boy", a reference to the very young vines and the newness of this wine in the Bera line-up. Certified organic.

The Story: Introducing Alessandra Bera of Vittorio Bera e Figli in Piedmonte. Her family vineyard was first to start bottling and marketing its own Moscato d’Asti in Canelli, the most famous Moscato village in the Monferrato zone of Piemonte back in 1964. But the estate’s history goes all the way back to 1785, when Giovanni Battista Bera purchased land from the Knights of Malta.  From the start, the Bera family set out to do things differently. The vineyard is stunning, on a steep hill below the winery where a warm but windy environment keeps the fruit healthy and able to ripen well while maintaining zippy acidity.  Also special (and quite rare) is the fact that the vineyard was always farmed without chemicals and with an emphasis on biodiversity. An incredible variety of grasses, legumes, herbs and wildflowers grow between the rows, and today it is certified organic.

Personality: Pale ruby in the glass, it bursts with violets, sour cherry, and a hint of orange peel. Sleek and energetic, with fine-grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity.

Harmony:This bambino is at home beside a midweek charcuterie board as it is with a rich mushroom risotto, or pasta with red sauce & sweet sausage.
