Monferrato Nebbiolo DOC Superiore – Illegale 2021 – Tenuta Santa Caterina

A delightful example of Nebbiolo, this Monferrato DOC Nebbiolo Superiore showcases the grape’s classic elegance. Aged for a year in 30hl oak barrels and another 6 months in bottle, it offers a light, bright ruby red color in the glass that is immediately inviting.

The nose is expressive with a prominent floral bouquet of violets and dried flowers, layered with subtle notes of red fruits like cherry and strawberry. There’s a touch of greenery and a slight woodsy hint that adds complexity.

On the palate, it’s well-structured with a great balance, the tannins present but smooth, leading to a long, floral finish where the tannins linger.

A highly enjoyable and distinctive Nebbiolo, showcasing the varietal’s charm with a refined touch.
