Vindabeive rosso 2024

Wine description for Vindabeive rosso 2024 by Valfaccenda

Colour & Appearance

A pale, luminous shade of light ruby red in the glass with delicate transparency.

Nose

Impetuous, fresh and bursting with youthful energy. Intense aromas of sour cherries, crunchy cranberries, floral accents of violets and a savoury hint of bay leaf.

Palate

On the palate, it reveals a lively finesse: a fine spritz of carbon dioxide provides a vibrant mouthfeel, whilst the minimal extraction leaves behind a gossamer-thin phenolic structure. The juicy fruit is directed into clear lines, lending the wine an uncomplicated, rapid drinkability and an immense quaffability. Best enjoyed chilled slightly.

Terroir & Origin

The wine hails from the steep hills of Canale and Vezza in Roero (Piedmont). The vines are rooted in the Sabbie Astiane, a soft, sandy soil that was once an ancient seabed. These barren, steep sandy slopes bestow remarkable elegance and early accessibility upon the Nebbiolo, far removed from its weightier neighbours in the Langhe.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo sourced from younger vines of the organically certified estate. The grapes spent just five days on the skins, with around half undergoing carbonic maceration as whole bunches to preserve pure, fruit-driven freshness without heavy tannins. Bottled at a moderate 12.5% ABV.

Food Pairings

Perfect with uncomplicated Piedmontese starters such as Vitello Tonnato, light Antipasti Misti, a fresh Pizza Margherita, or served slightly chilled alongside salami with crusty rustic bread.

Particularities

As part of the SoloRoero collective’s commitment, this drop showcases the uncompromisingly charming, fresh side of the grape variety: not a heavy wine for cellaring, but an easy-drinking bistro wine crafted to the highest artisanal standards.
