Tasting Notes: A new varietal for me. Tasted this beautiful white wine on a sunny afternoon on the deck.
Nascetta is an autochthonous (native) grape variety, once very popular in the 19th century, and nearly extinct until rescued by producers in the early 1990s.
Due to its refreshing acidity and aromatic profile, Nascetta wines are versatile and can pair well with a variety of dishes, including seafood, salads, and lighter Italian cuisine.
In the glass it is straw yellow replete with greenish highlights. The nose of citrus, grapefruit and pale stone fruit develops into white flowers and exotic fruit sensations. With the first sip, a sensation of crispness floods the palate, hovering on savoury undertones. Together with notes of dried fruit and green apple, these create a pleasing, lush and silky sensation.
