Tasting Notes: This classic Nebbiolo has red and floral notes of rose and violet with a light and delicate spiciness. On the palate it is fresh but intense, with pleasantly soft tannins. The grapes are destemmed, and about 5% see whole bunch vinification. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Once fermentation is completed, racking and fermentation follows malolactic in tonneaux.
Estate History: Cordero Mario winery's story began in 2019, when the Cordero's discovered a striking vineyard plot in Castiglione Falletto, a natural amphitheater vineyard with very old vines (50+ years) of a rare clone of Nebbiolo. They believe in allowing the land to express itself, employing organic farming methods. “It’s all about terroirs and vines. We, as humans, are all temporary in this world. These vines will be here for the next generations” says Mario Cordero. Their approach involves hand-harvesting, whole-bunch fermentation and aging in French tonneaux. Cordero Mario winery has two inaugural wines; a Barolo DOCG Valentino single-vineyard (MGA in Castiglione Falletto) and a Langhe DOC Nebbiolo, named Bèch (pronounced “back” in Piemontese). The labels were designed by their grandmother Luciana Vietti.
