2024 Sfera Rosato Nebula

A Nebbiolo rosato from the Sfera project, a collaborative initiative that seeks out lesser-known native grape varieties with untapped potential across Italy. Produced in partnership with the Crotin family estate in Maretto, Monferrato, Piedmont, where vines were first planted in 1897. The estate is still family-managed by brothers Federico, Marcello, and Corrado. Made from 100% Nebbiolo grown on marine sands and tufo mineral soil at 240 meters altitude. The wine showcases low intervention winemaking practices and reflects the salinity characteristics and distinct terroir of the region through small, character-filled batches.
