Grape grower Natale Seghesio is known as 'il Poeta' ('the Poet') to his friends. Not only for his lyrical compositions (featured on the label), but also for the intensely flavoured produce of his vines, growing in the premium Piedmont hills. Talented winemaker Paolo Sartirano snaps up Natale's grapes every year, taking them to his family's cellar. Founded in 1871, this cellar is now 150 years old and today in the hands of the fourth generation. Paolo has crafted Il Poeta to be a truly poetical expression of the finest Nebbiolo. Three years ageing in oak ensures the fruit marries perfectly with silky, toasted spice character. Deeply flavoured and complex, the wine is best opened early and decanted. Serve in large glasses with hearty dishes.

The Ciabot Berton Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 3 Utin 2023 is a stunning expression of the classic Nebbiolo grape from Italy. Produced by the renowned Ciabot Berton winery, this vintage showcases the best of their terroir and winemaking techniques. On the nose, aromas of ripe red cherries, dried herbs, and subtle hints of leather and tobacco entice the senses. The wine is a beautiful ruby red in colour, with a medium body and elegant tannins. On the palate, there are flavours of juicy red fruits, earthy notes, and a touch of spice, all beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lingering impression of finesse and complexity. This Langhe Nebbiolo is a true representation of the quality and craftsmanship of Ciabot Berton, and will only continue to improve with age. Enjoy now or cellar for the next 5-7 years.

Tasting impression: On the nose, the bouquet brings the typical notes of red fruits, plums and cherries.On the palate, it is delicate, velvety and well-balanced with its fresh acidity

While the establishment date of Arrivo is 1998, when Peter Godden and partner Sally McGill established a nursery block of 35 vines of nebbiolo, the inspiration goes back to 1995 and '96, when Peter spent much time in Barolo, Italy, working the '96 vintage at leading producer Vietti.Now with plantings of around 1 hectare of nebbiolo, Peter uses a unique trellis and training system derived from Barolo, but with an Australian twist. Not only is the trellis complicated and unique, but so are the amazingly complicated fermentation techniques being used.The resulting wines are a benchmark for Australian nebbiolo.
