The Passo delle Viole Nebbiolo is a testament to the art of crafting approachable yet complex wines. This wine hails from the prestigious Piedmont region, the home of Nebbiolo, and benefits from the area's unique terroir. The wine is ruby red color with garnet reflections, offering an expressive nose of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, intertwined with subtle floral notes of violets and roses, a touch of spice, and an earthy undertone. On the palate, it’s dry and medium-bodied, with a balanced acidity and smooth tannins, leading to a persistent finish. The wine is produced using carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes, with a focus on delivering a vibrant and less tannic expression of the varietal, perfect for enjoying in its youth.
This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including roasted meats, hearty pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, and aged cheeses. It is particularly excellent with traditional Piedmontese cuisine, such as agnolotti del plin or brasato al Barolo. Moreover, this wine is an elegant choice for those who appreciate the depth and complexity of Nebbiolo but prefer a style that is more approachable and ready to drink sooner. It will be served at a temperature of 18°C and you should let the wine breathe for 30 minutes before serving to appreciate its nuances.
