Profile

Description

Vespolina is an Italian grape related to Nebbiolo, and grown almost exclusively in the cool hills of northern Piedmont. La Capuccina's Novarina is a great introduction to this rare grape!

Pairing

Tannic and bold, this red needs full-flavour dishes like an earthy mushroom tortellini or braised beef short ribs in a red wine sauce.

Aromas and Flavours

Raspberry

Tangy or sweet, juicy or tart: more sophisticated than a strawberry, but just as lush.

Strawberry

A sweet, almost caramel-like aroma reminiscent of your favourite juicy, red berry.

Stone

Remember playing with pebbles as a child and giving them a lick out of curiosity?

Pepper

A whiff of a freshly used pepper grinder - spicy and fresh, without the itchy nose.

Leather

Ever gotten into a car with leather seats, or taken a big whiff of your dad's leather jacket?
