Description

While still in its reticent youth, this Nebbiolo from Cantina Delsignore will open up like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon with time in bottle.

Gorgeous minerality, sour cherries, autumnal fallen leaves, and forest floor. A superb nose that gives off a sense of place, detailed and vivid. On the palate there is dense fruit saturation and concentration while still being so detailed. Palate staining flavour so inherently Nebbiolo in its presentation, yet fresh in acidity with minerality and tannins that have become velvety and so enticing.

A remarkable wine: balanced and textured, and in a great drinking zone, yet with more room to grow and evolve in the medium term as well.

94 Points - "This is a deeper, more brooding offering from Delsignore, which is fine by me, as an aside. Ripe raspberry and cherry, dried flowers, orange peel and alpine herbs. It's fleshy and firm, sporting almost creamy crushed rock tannin in plentiful supply, ripe dark red fruit, a little orange peel bitterness and tang, fresh acidity, a distinct 'mineral' feel and a powerful finish, maybe a little liquorice in the aftertaste. Individual and beautifully made. Leave it alone for a while, because it's pretty firm as at now." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Precious and elegant wine. It comes from the Nebbiolo grapes of some of the best vineyards lying on the gentle hills of Gattina. With complex and spicy aromas, the garnet ruby ​​colour satisfies the gaze of the attentive drinker and completes the harmonious flavour of violets and fruit.

Aged for a minimum of 3 years, 2 of which in oak barrels. Extraordinary pairing with roasts, red meats and all robust dishes.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
