- Nascetta is an indigenous grape variety historically found exclusively in the town of Novello.
- It is a semi-aromatic grape known for its irregular yields, requiring significant effort in the vineyard due to its erratic growth patterns.
- Nascetta vines grow vigorously in all directions, necessitating meticulous management to ensure quality.
Nascetta wines are an ideal blend of characteristics reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc and Vermentino, with a hint of Riesling. When young, Nascetta wines exhibit a fruity and herbal pungency similar to Sauvignon Blanc. As they age, they develop honeyed notes that evoke the essence of Riesling, while consistently maintaining a balsamic subtlety reminiscent of Vermentino. Notably saline, Nascetta wines possess a pronounced savory quality and leave a lasting impression of acidity, despite having moderate total acidity levels. With aging, notes of honey and vanilla emerge, enhancing the wine’s complexity and depth.
