Nebbiolo from four different estate vineyards goes into Cantalupo’s Ghemme. Nebbiolo from this area expresses mineral characteristics from its varying and unique morainic soil, and offers concentrated red fruit aromas and flavours.
Classic and intense Nebbiolo aromas like dark red fruits, florals and eucalypt, with a layer of crushed stone. The wine is linear and refined with gorgeous texture, evoking wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, but with mineral overtones and more rustic intensity.
The 2010 Cantalupo Anno Primo is a deep, powerful wine. Black cherry, plum, lavender, spice, menthol and licorice meld together. Deep, pliant and full of character, the 2010 has so much to offer. The Cantalupo is dark and brooding, yet retains its mid-weight personality and overall feel. It is without question a very serious wine. I loved it.
