In Donnas, the southern area of Aosta, Nebbiolo rules supreme – the region is closer to neighbouring wine regions like Carema DOC in Alto Piemonte than the core of Aosta. In these areas,  the grape is called Picotendro rather than Nebbiolo, and it is better adapted to the mountainous terrain and climate than what is found in more southerly areas like Barolo. Named after the original winery owner, 'Georgos' is Pianta Grossa's top cuvée. Its 2021 is matured for 24 months in French oak barrels and exudes beautifully lifted notes of red brambles, cranberry and spice. Fresh and crunchy with chiselled minerality and depth, this is a beautiful expression of mountain Nebbiolo.
