NEBBIOLO D'ALBA MICHET D.O.C. 2022

Bright ruby red in colour. The bouquet combines fruity aromas of raspberry and floral notes of violet with delicate ethereal and spicy nuances. The palate is broad and balanced, with supple tannins that are never overpowering.

Designation: Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC

Grape variety: 100% Nebbiolo

Production area: Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont

Training system: vertical trellising with Guyot pruning

Harvest: picked by hand into crates

Vinification: selective destemming and gentle crushing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks. Maceration is encouraged through repeated gentle pump-overs over the cap, allowing tannins and colour to be extracted gradually and selectively. The skins are separated only when extraction has reached its optimum level

Ageing: the wine is racked into vitrified concrete vats and maintained at a post-fermentation temperature of approximately 22°C, allowing malolactic fermentation to begin and finish spontaneously within a short period. Sixty per cent of the wine is aged in large 60 hl Slavonian oak casks, while the remaining 40% matures in stainless steel, preserving the freshness and floral character typical of the Michet clone

Alcohol content: 14% – Contains sulphites

Serving temperature: 18°C

Available size
0.75 L bottle MDBNAM075

Perfect pairing
Italiamy recommends serving Michet Nebbiolo d’Alba with rich traditional Piedmontese starters, such as raw beef enhanced in both flavour and colour by a fine sweet-and-sour giardiniera.
