Valli Ossolane

Marco and Matteo Garrone are two talented brothers passionate about Prünent, the local name for the Nebbiolo clone grown in the Ossola Valley. They farm only old vines (over 40 years old) planted on their own rootstocks. They follow the light and intoxicatingly elegant character of this grape, here in the northwestern wedge of Italy. Fermented in stainless steel then aged in big oak vessels for 12 months, it's a very pale ruby colour with liquorice, tar and restrained pomegranate accompanied by leafy and jasmine notes. It's quite dense on the palate with elegant, silky tannins and lifted acidity. It lacks a bit of savoury character, showing sucrosity at present, but will increase in complexity with age. Around 8,000 bottles produced.
