Winemaker Notes
Straw yellow in color with greenish hues, the Osvaldo Viberti Papalot Nascetta offers aromas of apple, aromatic herbs, wild flowers, honey, sage, and rosemary. Full-bodied and savory in the mouth, it has excellent structure and longevity.
Accompanies aperitifs, dishes based on vegetables, white meats, fish and cheeses.
As yet a minor but highly prized white grape variety native to Piedmont, Nascetta promises a lush and aromatic white wine of high quality. Winemaking documents of the area mention it in the Novello village of Barolo as early as the second half of the 19th century. Somm Secret—Perhaps its rarity is only due to the fact that it competes with Nebbiolo for optimal Barolo vineyard space. But it has proven to do well just outside the Barolo area, namely in the village of Ciliegie where Riesling also has success.
