Nebbiolo Rosé, Daniele Conterno

wild strawberry • citrus peel • dry

Fresh strawberry and blood orange lead the aromatics, with a clean, linear palate driven by bright acidity. As it moves across the tongue, a light tannic grip begins to show, giving the wine shape and a slightly drying finish that sets it apart from softer, more fruit-forward rosés.

Nebbiolo is not commonly used for rosé, but its naturally high acidity and tannin still come through even in this lighter style. Produced in the Langhe, where the grape is best known for Barolo, this shows a different side of Nebbiolo, one that leans more on freshness and structure than weight and intensity.

Because Nebbiolo carries both acid and tannin so naturally, even a rosé like this holds more shape than expected. It’s a good example of how the same grape can show up very differently depending on how it’s handled, while still keeping its identity.
