460 Casina Bric Mesdi Vino Rosso NV

The Viberti family having been making wine in the village of Vergne just outside Barolo for nearly one hundred years, and today that tradition is continued by Gianluca Viberti who has been running his 10 hectare estate since 2010. 'Casina Bric' translates into 'Hilltop Winery' and '460' refers to the altitude in metres above sea level of the vines, leading Gianluca to claim that his property is the most elevated in Barolo. A strictly organic approach to tending the vines is employed here and all the grapes are hand-harvested.

The fermentation and skin maceration takes place in stainless steel as well as cement tanks and lasts around 15 and up to 40 days. Part of the wine undergoes a short ageing in large wooden casks of 25/50 hl, for 6 to 8 months, following which the wine rests in cement tanks for another 8 to 12 months.

Mesdi Rosso is 100% Nebbiolo and an amazing introduction to the stunning wines of Piemonte and such ridiculously good value! A light ruby colour in the glass with orange tints. Aromas of rose petals and sweet spices with notes of dark chocolate. On the palate, fresh and fruity with moderate tannins and a balanced acidity. Excellent with roasted butternut squash, wild mushroom risotto or Gorgonzola cheese.
