What you see in the picture is Nebbiolo 2011 "en primeur". We are hoping the summer will turn these little bunches into a mature grape to make the perfect wine.
To stimulate the weather gods, we are pleased to announce the release of the 2007 Aria on July 2nd, 2011. It's still young, but full of everything that you find in a Nebbiolo.
Aria a slow wine and the grape is the same as in Barolo or Barbaresco, the great wines from Piemonte, Northern Italy. It's no coincidence that Piemonte is also the birth place of the Slow Food movement. Patience pays! This wine is ready to drink but gets better and better with a long life.
Here is what Zoltan Szabo had to say about Aria 07:
We were both truly impressed by the Nebbiolo. It was so Nebbiolo, from colour to finish. Red currants, cherries, pink peppercorn, floral – tar – leather aroma mixture. Medium to full bodied with great ripeness and opulence, lively acidity and velvet tannins. Pure, smooth and elegant with 13% alcohol, unnoticeable oak and citrus – pink grapefruit – pomegranate seed notes on its extremely long finish. After a while, soft, fresh – turned earth – tobacco, animal and limestone – graphite nuances started showing in between the fruit, with spicy nutmeg accents on the finish. We debated if this is the best Nebbiolo we tasted outside of Piemonte and listened to an aria, “Ah perfido” by Beethoven.
Price: $34.95
