This is what good wine from the Nascetta grape tastes like

The Italian Nascetta grape produces quite aromatic white wines, often with notes of acacia and honey. They are quite full-bodied and fresh. However, the Nascetta grape is very rare, and you're unlikely to encounter a wine made from it.

As early as the nineteenth century, wine was made from the Nascetta grape in Piedmont. In the past, it was often blended with Favorita and Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. By the end of the last century, it had practically died out. Today, a handful of producers are pressing wine from it again. They are encouraged by the authorities, who have granted wine made solely from Nascetta DOC Langhe status—a good appellation in short. Winemakers also call Nascetta Anas-cetta or Nas-cëtta. Don't ask why, we don't know either.

According to wine books, Nascetta has a good, firm structure, is quite aromatic, and often smells of flowers, honey, and exotic fruit. We've tasted one so far, with a fine structure and an aroma primarily of ripe pear.

We currently have one wine made from the Nascetta grape in our range. You can view our Nascetta wine here.
