COLOMBERA & GARELLA 2022 Vino Rosso 'Melascone' (Piedmont, Italy)

This is an exciting new wine from a young duo making waves in Piedmont winemaking. Melascone is a blend of Nebbiolo, Croatina, and Vespolina, sourced from old vineyards around Bramaterra and Lessona in the Alto Piemonte. Fermented with native yeast, using minimal sulfur. The 2022 vintage is a blast of wild red fruit, dried herbs, violet, and just a hint of black pepper from the Vespolina. Think of this Rosso as similar to a Beaujolais or a Loire Cab Franc - throw a chill on it and have it with pizza.
