Nebbiolo Brut, Daniele Conterno ‘Punta’
red apple • citrus peel • brioche
Red apple and citrus lead, with a light brioche note from time on the lees. Fine, persistent bubbles keep the wine tight and dry, with bright acidity carrying the finish and giving it a clean, focused feel.
Made using the Traditional Method, the same process used in Champagne, with secondary fermentation in bottle. Nebbiolo is typically associated with structured reds, but here it shows a different side, where its naturally high acidity drives the wine rather than tannin.
Nebbiolo is rarely produced in this style, which makes this a less common starting point for the grape. It offers a different perspective up front, before moving into the more structured expressions that follow in the flight.
