{"product_id":"2020-gioso-nebbiolo-dalba","title":"2020 Gioso Nebbiolo d'Alba","description":"\u003cp\u003eGioso knows exactly what they're doing when it comes to delivering classic, unpretentious Piedmont reds. Their Nebbiolo d’Alba bypasses the hefty Barolo price tag entirely, focusing instead on the steep slopes of the Roero region to build a more immediate, fruit-driven expression of Italy's most famous grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is pulled from thirty-year-old vines sitting between 280 and 330 metres above sea level, spanning the left bank of the Tanaro river and pockets of the nearby Langhe. Rooted in deep, bluish-grey calcareous marl and facing south-west, these sites soak up enough afternoon sun to ensure those notoriously fierce Nebbiolo tannins soften properly on the vine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter destemming, the ferment kicks off in stainless steel tanks held at a strict 28 degrees. Following a natural malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked into large-format Slavonian oak barrels for nine months of resting time, allowing the structure to knit together without swamping the juice in heavy wood spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt skips the aggressive austerity you sometimes find in young Nebbiolo, delivering a generous core of crushed red cherry and dried earth wrapped in a slinky, tensile grip. It's ready to rip straight away, especially if there's a serious bowl of braised meat or rich pasta on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gioso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44564559724587,"sku":"2020 Gioso Nebbiolo d'Alba","price":54.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2020GiosoNebbiolod_Alba.png?v=1786934864","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2020-gioso-nebbiolo-dalba","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
