A little Piedmontese wine gem. Nascetta, or 'nas-cëtta', is an indigenous grape variety from the Novello area, the very commune where the Sansilvestro winery is based. A long-forgotten vine, due to difficulties in the countryside and low production, it was rediscovered in the 1990s, thanks to the efforts of a group of Novello winegrowers who had the opportunity to taste old bottles. Then, in 2010, the new designation "Langhe DOC Nas-cëtta del Comune di Novello" was recognised. This white wine is made from grapes grown on the company's own plots of land on the banks of Lake Ghercina, and is aged for over 5 months on its lees, acquiring body and structure. In the glass it is an intense yellow colour. The nose is an explosion of vegetable and floral scents. Acacia flowers and even the freshness of citrus fruits stand out. In the mouth, then, the exotic aromas of fruit are combined with a good minerality that accentuates the freshness. Excellent as an aperitif, it lends itself well to accompanying fresh vegetable-based hors d'oeuvres. But also knife-edged raw meat, raw fish and shellfish. Excellent with sushi.
