Nascetta Langhe DOC 2021 - Mirafiore

The Langhe Nascetta di Mirafiore, a gem of Piedmontese viticulture, embodies the excellence of a native variety with a rich historical heritage. Cultivated in the hills of Serralunga d'Alba, this wine stands out for its deep connection to the terroir, characterized by clayey soils enriched with limestone marls, which impart structure, acidity, complexity, and minerality to the wine. The care taken in vineyard cultivation, with an average yield of 55 hectoliters per hectare and the optimal geographical position of the vineyards, exposed to the south and southeast at around 300 meters above sea level, reflects Mirafiore's commitment to excellence and sustainability. The Langhe Nascetta presents itself with a straw yellow color illuminated by greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers an intense olfactory experience of white fruit and apricot, which over time can evolve into nuances of aromatic herbs, demonstrating a fascinating olfactory complexity. On the palate, the wine envelops with a rich structure, characterized by freshness and a slightly acidic note, which together confer a pleasant persistence and a fascinating savory nuance. Mirafiore's dedication to sustainability is reflected in the organic cultivation of Nascetta, part of a broader commitment to biodiversity and environmental harmony. The winery, founded in 1878 and renovated in 2008, continues to value Piedmontese winemaking tradition, while keeping an eye on innovation and quality, with the Langhe Nascetta standing out as the first white wine produced by the estate, symbolizing the versatility and expressive potential of the terroir. The Langhe Nascetta pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes, thanks to its pronounced acidity and sapidity. It is ideal with vegetables, fresh cheeses, raw fish, shellfish, and white meats, making it a versatile companion for various culinary occasions.

The story of Casa E. di Mirafiore is deeply intertwined with the very roots of Piedmontese wine and its nobility. Founded in 1878 by Emanuele Alberto Guerrieri, Count of Mirafiore and son of the first King of Italy, the winery is located in the fertile territories of Barolo and Fontanafredda. Emanuele Alberto's vision, an entrepreneur of noble origins, revolutionized the wine world of the time with a modern approach to winemaking and a strong commitment to the community. Recently, Casa E. di Mirafiore has intensified its commitment to sustainability, achieving organic certification in 2018 and celebrating its first certified organic harvest. This orientation was further reinforced in 2022 with the publication of the first Sustainability Report and the acquisition of certifications for sustainable practices in its own 25 hectares in Serralunga, vegan products, and recognition as a "Historical Brand" by the Italian government, a sign of its historic contribution to the oenology of the Langhe, combining tradition and sustainable innovation.
