Protero Nebbiolo 111 Rose 2024
“I first made a Nebbiolo Rosé in the early 2000’s during my formative time in Piedmonte with G.D.Vajra. Nebbiolo’s aromatics and tone lend itself to Rosé and the flavours are unusually complex. We grafted an old Chardonnay vineyard on Protero to the rose clone (111) specifically for making rosé. The result is a wine we love to drink year-round from a single site and a clone of Nebbiolo ideally suited to rosé" - Stephen Pannell
100% Nebbiolo 111 Clone - handpicked, gently destemmed and pressed and held as juice in tank to settle until the 15th of April. Fermented for 30 days with no malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tank. Bottled 11th June 2024.
Sea spray, campari and blood orange, peach skin with little savoury licks of white grapefruit, blackcurrant leaf and chalk, this is delightfully complex and aromatic. It continues to straddle that beautiful tight rope of fruit intensity and savouriness - something that Nebbiolo Rosato does so well - melding mandarin, ripe orchard fruits with tarragon and brick dust. The texture is spot on, a melange of phenolic grip and chalk finishing with a lovely balance of acid and almond like bitterness.
