Anas-Cëtta Langhe Bianco Nascetta di Novello
Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
“Ana’s-Cëtta” is the white #Nascetta wine by @elviocogno who helped bring the variety back from near extinction in the 1990s in the commune of Novello, #Langhe, #Piedmont.
The 2022 delivers aromas of honeysuckle, white peach, verbena and Mediterranean herbs. Apple, pear, quince and pineapple flavors then come into play. This quickly followed by a waxy texture, balanced by lime zest, with notions of crushed minerals on the finish.
The winery suggests it is “ideal as an accompaniment to vegetable dishes, white meats, raw fish, oysters and creamy cheeses.” Maybe not as ideal, but paired with rigatoni, sausage and fennel allowed some contrast to expose and heighten many of the sensations…BRAVO!

One of my favorite Piemonte whites. Bolder than Arneis, without the bitter finish. With cheese, the lightest caramel note can come through. Changes over time in the glass.

On first opening it was pretty tasty and had orchard notes. Then after it was open for a bit the oak became really overwhelming. The finish was all overly toasted oak.

Evergreen, pine, pear and grapefruit on the nose.
Acid and more acid for days on the palate.

Slightly oxidative. Baked apple and pear. Salty on the nose. Very high acidity. Interesting varietal.

Lovely light melon notes, with balancing lemon pith. This is a slightly richer white grape than the other neighborhood white (Arneis), with no trailing bitter notes, but still not “tropical” in my book. It’s just good stuff, minimal oak, easy-drinking. Eataly Dallas
