2019 Piazza

100% Nebbiolo

There’s a piazza in the Tuscan village of Mercatale where we were introduced to Italy. You know, the one you dream about. The air was clear and fragrant. The afternoon sunlight an inspiration.  And, of course, there was the food and wine. There in “piazza nostra” (our piazza) we sampled Tuscany in all its glory.  Farm cheeses, melon, prosciutto, and ten versions of pasta.  Our favorite: pappardelle al ragu cinghiale (pasta with wild boar sauce).  We paired it with a wine from the famed Tignanello vineyards once owned by the Medici family.  Pure heaven. The “Piazza” is my tribute to that experience. 

This 2019 vintage is 100% Nebbiolo grapes made in small batches - truly hand-crafted.  It’s deep and aromatic with a beautiful structure. Light-bodied yet bold in flavor, this Italian-inspired blend shows notes of bright cranberry, rose petal, star anise, and leather. Buon appetito!
