Cavalier Bartolomeo is a traditional winery located in the prestigious Piedmont region, renowned for its dedication to crafting wines that reflect the rich heritage of the area. Their 2020 Nebbiolo is a fine example of this commitment, offering a classic expression of one of Italy’s most noble grapes. Nebbiolo, the variety behind some of the world’s most celebrated wines like Barolo and Barbaresco, thrives in Piedmont’s unique terroir. Cavalier Bartolomeo focuses on small-scale, quality-driven production, ensuring that each bottle delivers an authentic experience of the local land and tradition.

The vineyards benefit from a combination of calcareous marl and clay soils, which impart structure and minerality to the wine. The region’s climate—marked by warm days and cool nights—helps Nebbiolo to ripen slowly, enhancing its aromatic complexity while preserving fresh acidity. The 2020 vintage benefited from ideal conditions, producing wines with great depth and elegance.

Appearance: A light ruby red with garnet hues, typical of young Nebbiolo, bright and transparent in the glass.

Aroma: Aromatically complex, with delicate floral notes of violets and roses intermingling with fresh red fruit like cherries and raspberries. There are also subtle hints of earthy spices, such as clove and anise, along with a touch of tobacco and leather.

Taste: On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with finely grained tannins and a lively acidity. Flavours of red cherry, wild strawberries, and cranberry dominate, with an earthy undercurrent and notes of dried herbs. The tannins, though present, are smooth and elegant, contributing to the wine's structure without overwhelming its balance.

Finish: The finish is long and refined, with lingering red fruit and floral notes, along with a hint of savoury spice and a gentle touch of minerality.

Food Pairing: This Nebbiolo pairs beautifully with braised beef or osso buco, where the wine’s tannins and acidity help cut through the richness of the dish, while its subtle earthy and floral notes complement the flavours of the meat. It’s also an excellent match for porcini mushroom risotto, where the earthiness of the mushrooms mirrors the wine’s complex aromas, creating a harmonious and satisfying pairing.
