The producer: Casa Vinicola Aldo Rainoldi is on the wine business since 1925. They started as local wine merchant to then buy and grow their own vines. This is fabulous pale red ruby colour, flavours of red berries with hints of hazelnut. An ideal companion for rich starters, pasta, all kind of meat and cheese. A proper Nebbiolo wine must age for at least 5 years to open completely. This is a classic and established product. You can find the 2017 but not early vintages. Here you have the amazing 2013 that you don’t find anymore in any other online shop. Few Cases Left!
