Brigatti, Nebbiolo blend, Motziflon, Colline Novaresi 2021
From the winemaker: Mötziflon is the dialectal name of the hill on whose slopes the grapes that form the base of this wine are grown. The local dialect from the village of Suno indicates “Möt” as the translation of ‘hill’ and “Ziflon” as that of ‘Robin’ or ‘songbird’, hence the meaning.
Based on a blend of Nebbiolo (85%) Vespolina (10%) and Uva Rara (5%) grapes, this wine is aged for twenty months in traditional Slavonian oak barrels. The austere tannin-based structure and the precise acidity are the features that truly set the Nebbioli from Alto Piemonte apart and make them prone to become increasingly complex and elegant over the years.
