2021 San Silvestro Nebbiolo D’Alba ‘Brumo' ($23.95 per bottle)

Brumo underlines the essence of Nebbiolo grapes, the noble variety from Piedmont. Nebbiolo gets the name from pruina, a substance that we can find on the skins of the berries that makes them look like they are covered by fog (“nebbia” or “bruma” in Italian). It is in the foggy season, between October and November, that the nebbiolo ripens: now it is explained the name of our Nebbiolo d’Alba D.O.C. “Brumo”. Vanilla overtones, with evident varietal fruit; full-bodied, elegant, and persistent.
