Antoniolo Coste della Sesia DOC Nebbiolo 'Juvenia' 2023

100% Nebbiolo from the cru vineyards of Borelle and Valferana. Spontaneous fermentation and maceration on the skins for 12-15 days in concrete vats - no temperature control. Maturation in stainless steel for 12 months and refined in bottle for at least 6 months. Occasionally passed in large oak cask for a month before bottling. This is a delightful, high-toned wine with lifted bright fruits, anise flower, sleek tannin structure and cleansing acidity. Textbook un-oaked elegance.

"The 2023 Nebbiolo Coste della Sesia is an absolute delight. Bright and punchy, the 2023 offers gorgeous forward fruit and yet remains wonderfully translucent, in keeping with the style of Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte. If that sounds like an appealing combination, well, it is. This is a beautiful gateway wine." 90 points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
