Discover the exquisite San Silvestro, Nas-cetta del Comune di Novello from the renowned Langhe region in Piedmont, Italy. Crafted by a family-owned estate with a winemaking heritage dating back to 1871, this exceptional white wine is made exclusively from the rare Nascetta grape variety. Nestled by the banks of a small lake in Novello, the unique microclimate of the single hectare vineyard allows this perfumed variety to flourish, yielding high-quality grapes that transform into wines of remarkable character and complexity. The dedication to traditional winemaking, coupled with sustainable practices recognised by an Equalitas certification, brings a true taste of Piemonte's distinctive terroir to every bottle.
Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve its delicate aromatics, the wine further matures for six months on fine lees with regular 'batonnage' in used French oak barrels, adding luxurious depth and texture. San Silvestro's Nascetta is not just a testament to its storied past but an embodiment of modern craftsmanship, perfect for discerning wine lovers seeking an authentic Italian experience.
