Uva Rara pops with a fresh fruit character, providing a friendly blending component to Nebbiolo in this area (here called Spanna). Castaldi crafts this mono-varietal label without oak influence, allowing the varietal to shine on it’s own.

Vineyard

The vineyards used for the Uva Rara extend for almost one hectare on the hill in the municipality of Briona. The vines grow on clay soil and enjoy full sun exposure throughout the day. Year of planting 1999.

Winemaking

Grapes were harvested by hand, 20 kg boxes. After destemming, the bunches were decanted into a stainless steel tank for spontaneous alcoholic fermentation and subsequent maceration on the skins for 5 days.

Vintage

Slight hydric stress, that resulted in more concentrated grapes, which allowed the Uva Rara to show its best aromatic qualities.

Tasting Note

Charming and elegantly poised, the Uva Rara shines with brambly blackberry fruit and dewy earth on the palate. Crunchy tannins and a naturally rich body are seated between herbaceous notes of rosemary, tarragon and allspice. Finishes with a refreshing lift of licorice and Amarena cherry.
