The Massolino family are the largest holders in this Cru with 3.5 hectares of Vigna Rionda vines, aged between 40 and 50 years old. On some of the oldest soils of Barolo, there is very little topsoil here, with a high concentration of limestone, oxidised iron and other mineral elements. The altitude is also 300 metres above sea level—so, high—with protection from northerly winds and frost provided by the south\/southwest aspect. It’s a vineyard that generates wines with an optimum balance of perfume, finesse, concentration and structure, rarely found elsewhere in Barolo. Excellent acidity and tannins are a feature of the wines of Vigna Rionda, and so they require longer aging in both botti and bottle. That’s why Massolino’s Vigna Rionda is always released with a minimum six years of age.\n\u003cp\u003eAlways aged in large cask, 2017 was the second vintage that Massolino’s Vigna Rionda was also fermented in large wood. It spent 20 days on skins and then 30 months aging in a 7,000-litre Stockinger botti. It’s simply a gorgeous, layered and complex Barolo of the highest order. The note below says it all. Despite the warm vintage, there is great acidity and ample, fine tannins. Already a brilliant drink, it will be even better in three to five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFounded in 1896 by the enterprising Giovanni Massolino—he was the first to bring electricity to the town—the estate is based in and around the town of Serralunga d’Alba, one of the prime sub-zones of Barolo. Today, the keys of this historical estate belong to Franco and Roberto Massolino who work with gifted, ex-Vajra winemaker Giovanni Angeli. Behind Massolino’s rise to the apex of Barolo lies their remarkable collections of Serralunga vineyards, including choice parcels of such famous sites as; Margheria, Parafada and the legendary Vigna Rionda where the Massolino family is the largest holders with 3.5 hectares of vines (two are planted to Nebbiolo) between 40 and 50 years old. Outside of this commune, Massolino also tends vines in the great Parussi Cru of Castiglione Falletto. Massolino’s Barolos sit comfortably among the finest of the region—they are wines of wonderful purity and elegance. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe quality strides at this estate over the last decade or so have been truly remarkable with significant advances made, particularly in the vineyards. The Massolino Estate has now been organic for six years with no herbicides used for ten. The evolution of the work in the vineyards over that time has been impressive and is showing through in the wines. The team has introduced more competition through grass cover, and no systemic chemicals are used: only copper and sulphur against mildew and only ‘sexual confusion’ to combat pests. \u003c\/span\u003eToday the Nebbiolo-based wines of Massolino sit comfortably among the finest of the region—they are wines of wonderful purity and elegance. In one sense they are ‘traditional’ and yet they offer the best of the “old” and “new” worlds: pure, aromatic, textural, deeply flavoured wines that are at the same time precise, vibrant and distinctly regional. Equally important, Massolino’s Barolos are remarkably well priced when compared to the other top producers of the area. Alongside Massolino’s Barolo, we must reserve a good deal of excitement for their early drinking releases that starts with the delicious Dolcetto and runs seamlessly through the Barbera, to basic Nebbiolo before arriving at the top tier wines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piedmont\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSUB-REGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Giovanni Angeli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION: \u003c\/strong\u003eOrganic Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43614692180117,"sku":"2602","price":561.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Massolino-Vigna-Rionda-Barolo-Riserva-2017-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1730194225"},{"product_id":"vietti-ravera-barolo-2019","title":"Vietti 'Ravera' Barolo 2019","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The 2019 Barolo Ravera is the most intensely mineral and saline of the Barolos.

Limestone- and clay-rich soil with Marls of Saint Agatha present. Ravera in Novello is a fabulous hillside vineyard with a western\/south-western exposure. Altitude around 400 m asl; the average age of the vines is 34 years and there is a density of around 4500 plants per hectare over a total area of around 2.1 hectares. The oldest part was planted in 1935. Grapes harvested by hand on 14 October 2019. After gentle pressing, the juice fermented for around four to five weeks in a steel tank, in contact with the skins. This period included pre- and post-ferment maceration, involving the traditional submerged-cap method. Slow malolactic fermentation in barrels, finishing in late spring. The wine then spent over a year on the lees without racking. Ageing is for around 32 months in large oak barrels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Located in the heart of the Langhe hills, at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti. Although they have been making wine for four generations, the turning point came in the 1960's when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions – from the production of one of the first Barolo crus (Rocche di Castiglione – 1961), through the single-varietal vinification of Arneis (1967) made him one of the modern pioneers of the region. His legacy was taken up by hi son Luca Currado and his wife Elena. Today Vietti is the only estate in Piedmont to own vineyards in all eleven of the Barolo-producing villages with any of the parcels located in the region’s most historic and pedigreed sites. Vietti was named winery of the year 2022 by Antonio Galloni's Vinous Media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY: \u003c\/strong\u003eItaly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION: \u003c\/strong\u003ePiedmont\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL: \u003c\/strong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE: \u003c\/strong\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luca Currado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION: \u003c\/strong\u003eSustainable Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE: \u003c\/strong\u003eCork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%: \u003c\/strong\u003e14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE: \u003c\/strong\u003e750ml\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"product-single__content-text rte js-sr-loaded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43639175413909,"sku":"2627","price":577.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Vietti-Ravera-Barolo-2019-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1730194256"},{"product_id":"bruno-rocca-fralu-langhe-nebbiolo-2021-magnum","title":"Bruno Rocca 'Fralu' Langhe Nebbiolo 2021 Magnum","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\"The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Fralu is a tasty, entry-level offering to drink now and over the next handful of years.

This marked the beginning, in particular for Bruno, who from a very early age began to view the grapes as the true expression of the land. In 1978 Bruno decided to carve out a new direction, rather than selling the grapes to large barbaresco producers, Bruno began to sell bottled wine on the Italian and world stage. The philosophy of wine as the natural expression of the Barbaresco territory was widely appreciated, and with the estate’s gradual growth came the purchase of new plots of land and the expansion of the cellar, which continues to today with Bruno’s children Francesco and Luisa now both closely involved in all aspects of the wine production and sales. The wines under Bruno were firmly in the modernist camp of production, but the influence of his children has seen large format and neutral oak, and longer, slower ferments come into play. \u003cspan\u003eThe resulting wines are more classic but the retention of some barrique also gives a nod to the past and the splicing of the two philosophies is perfectly handled. \u003c\/span\u003eToday the wines are some of the most elegant, gorgeous examples coming out of Barbaresco.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piedmont\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSUB-REGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barbaresco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bruno \u0026amp; Francesco Rocca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44076080758933,"sku":"2910","price":158.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Bruno-Rocca-Fralu-Langhe-Nebbiolo-2021-Magnum-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1736240616"},{"product_id":"praeter-langhe-nebbiolo-2020","title":"Praeter Langhe Nebbiolo 2020","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Super delicious example of Nebbiolo.

Praeter is a wine’s story, miles and years from home… Matt Large is a busy man, but at the core of his pursuit is his own brand, Praeter, the name of which is a nod to the idea that wine is an extension and amplification of the expression of nature. Matt is an intuitive winemaker, always seeking to create precise and sensitive wines that clearly express a sense of place, while employing best-practice sustainable viticulture. This talent was recognised early in his career and led to a relatively rapid ascension through the winemaking ranks. Having previously worked as Assistant Winemaker and Vineyard Manager at Shadowfax Winery – across their Macedon Ranges sites – Matt has recently accepted a role as senior winemaker at Shaw + Smith and Tolpuddle Vineyard under Adam Wadewitz. For a long time, Matt had a desire to work in Piedmont and grasp the intricacies of the vineyards, as well as learn the traditional techniques of Barolo and Barbaresco. Enter Peter Johns, who introduced Matt to ex-Bruno Giacosa winemaker Francesco Versio in 2017, creating a watershed moment in the development of the Praeter brand. Matt worked vintage with Francesco in 2017 at Figli Luigi Oddero in La Morra and was asked to take on a permanent Assistant Vintage Winemaker role – a position he still holds today. Using fruit from Luigi Oddero’s vineyards, Matt also made his first wine there, the 2017 Vino Rosso. After that first vintage stint, in 2018 Matt managed to secure a parcel of Nebbiolo from the Malakoff vineyard in Victoria, and the Praeter offering was fleshed out a little more. From 2020, Matt released a trio of reds, including a Langhe Nebbiolo DOC and Vino Rosso IGT and he has rounded this off with the release in 2022 of his first Chinato, an adventurous new project from this dynamic young winemaker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION: \u003c\/strong\u003ePiedmont\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:  \u003c\/strong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE: \u003c\/strong\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER: \u003c\/strong\u003eMatt Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustainable Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%: \u003c\/strong\u003e14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE: \u003c\/strong\u003e750ml\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44811872370837,"sku":"3103","price":83.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Praeter-Langhe-Nebbiolo-2020-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop_9503becc.jpg?v=1740906201"},{"product_id":"cascina-roccalini-barbaresco-2019","title":"Cascina Roccalini Barbaresco 2019","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003e Pronounced floral notes of rose and violet, accompanied by red cherry, raspberry, tobacco, and leather.

The vineyard is extremely steep, situated on sandy soil, and is planted at a high density of 8,000 vines per hectare, allowing for competition among the vines that enhances their quality. Fermentation occurs in tanks, followed by malolactic conversion and maturation in old French demi-muids, with aging lasting 9 to 12 months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:  \u003c\/strong\u003eThe winemaking tradition of the Sandrone family began in the 1970s. They currently cultivate 27 hectares across the Langhe and Roero regions. Every stage of production is carried out with a commitment to sustainability and the utmost respect for the environment, starting with meticulous vineyard design to minimize the need for chemicals.

While the Cru wines below are now fermented exclusively in oak—which Giovanni Angeli credits with imparting even more finesse—half of this Barolo was still fermented in concrete.

It was founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto by Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo. Farming has always been a family tradition and passion. Enrico Scavino together with the daughters Enrica and Elisa, (representing the fourth generation) run the family Estate today. Enrico started to work full time in the winery in 1951 when he was just 10 years old. Enrico straddles the modernist\/traditionalist styles of Barolo, utilising native yeasts and favouring shorter macerations, but only using neutral barriques for the initial ageing period (10 months -to set colour) before transferring his wines to old large format oak for 12 months. Quality control is crucial. Scavino could make more wine—but the estate chooses to sell off from 10-30% of the production in bulk to maintain their super high standards. This small family farm—which essentially started with 5.5 hectares—now manages 29 hectares of vineyards, and regularly finds itself classified amongst the other top estates of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piemonte\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enrico Scavino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46368482984085,"sku":"5323","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Paolo-Scavino-Langhe-Nebbiolo-2023-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1758272842"},{"product_id":"vietti-barolo-2021","title":"Vietti Barolo 2021","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"The 2021 Barolo Castiglione is a superb entry-level Barolo from Vietti.

The average age of the Guyot-cultivated vines is between 10 and 45 years old, with a density of about 4,500 plants per hectare. The soil is rich in limestone and clay. Each individual cru is vinified and aged separately and in different ways to bring out the characteristics of each “terroir”. The grapes are harvested by hand. After gentle pressing, the juice ferments for around 3 - 4  weeks in a steel tank, in contact with the skins. This period includes pre and post-fermentation maceration, involving around 30 months in large barrels and, for a small portion, barriques. \u003cstrong\u003eVietti\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Located in the heart of the Langhe hills, at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti.

The ageing process lasts 24 months, with the first year in 500-litre French oak tonneaux and the second year in large 25 hl Slavonian oak casks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eEstablished in the early 1950s, the Luigi Pira estate encompasses 12ha of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera in the commune of Serralunga d’Alba.  For many years, the family produced and sold their grapes, later producing and selling wine in bulk to local negociants. Luigi’s son, Giampaolo, recently took the reins at the estate in the 1990's, overseeing the cellars while his brother, Romolo, and his father continue to maintain the vineyards. The first Barolo under their own label was produced only as recently as 1993, but since then, the family has racked up accolades and high scores from the worldwide press. Pira’s holdings include the three most prestigious crus in the Serralunga commune: “Margheria,” “Marenca,” and “Vigna Rionda.” Once firmly in the modernist camp of Barolo producers, recent vintages have seen both barrique and botte put to use in the winery. Vineyard management is guided by organic principals and only small amounts of sulphur are used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eItaly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePiedmont\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGiampaolo Pira\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSustainable Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46555553726613,"sku":"5543","price":229.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Luigi-Pira-Marenca-Barolo-2021-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1762938352"},{"product_id":"ls-merchants-nebbiolo-2023","title":"LS Merchants Nebbiolo 2023","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE: \u003c\/strong\u003eOur second hit at Nebbiolo, and a paradoxical grape at that… Big and brooding with healthy doses of tannins and an earthy undercurrent, but as pale coloured as a pinot!

Dylan Arvidson was born in Blenheim NZ, raised in Geelong VIC and moved to Margaret River in 2009 after being offered a job at Juniper Estate. He realised early on that although his favourite variety to drink and make is Chardonnay, his passion lay in finding obscure varieties or fruit not typically well known in our region and making it into the best possible example of that variety. Throwing the textbooks away and working on flavours rather than analysis and taking winemaking back to basics.\" The LS Merchants team works with like-minded growers from around WA to produce expressive, fun, minimal intervention wine, that doesn't take itself too seriously. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAustralia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMargaret River, Western Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETALS: \u003c\/strong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDylan Arvidson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMinimal Intervention, Minimal Sulphites, Sustainable Farming, Vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eScrewcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46851674341525,"sku":"5668","price":53.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/LS-Merchants-Nebbiolo-2023-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1769159361"},{"product_id":"praeter-stolen-moments-rosato-2024","title":"Praeter 'Stolen Moments' Rosato 2024","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"100% nebbiolo from the east-facing Kersbook vineyard.

Praeter is a wine’s story, miles and years from home… Matt Large is a busy man, but at the core of his pursuit is his own brand, Praeter, the name of which is a nod to the idea that wine is an extension and amplification of the expression of nature. Matt is an intuitive winemaker, always seeking to create precise and sensitive wines that clearly express a sense of place, while employing best-practice sustainable viticulture. This talent was recognised early in his career and led to a relatively rapid ascension through the winemaking ranks. Having previously worked as Assistant Winemaker and Vineyard Manager at Shadowfax Winery – across their Macedon Ranges sites – Matt has recently accepted a role as senior winemaker at Shaw + Smith and Tolpuddle Vineyard under Adam Wadewitz. For a long time, Matt had a desire to work in Piedmont and grasp the intricacies of the vineyards, as well as learn the traditional techniques of Barolo and Barbaresco. Enter Peter Johns, who introduced Matt to ex-Bruno Giacosa winemaker Francesco Versio in 2017, creating a watershed moment in the development of the Praeter brand. Matt worked vintage with Francesco in 2017 at Figli Luigi Oddero in La Morra and was asked to take on a permanent Assistant Vintage Winemaker role – a position he still holds today. Using fruit from Luigi Oddero’s vineyards, Matt also made his first wine there, the 2017 Vino Rosso. After that first vintage stint, in 2018 Matt managed to secure a parcel of Nebbiolo from the Malakoff vineyard in Victoria, and the Praeter offering was fleshed out a little more. From 2020, Matt released a trio of reds, including a Langhe Nebbiolo DOC and Vino Rosso IGT and he has rounded this off with the release in 2022 of his first Chinato, an adventurous new project from this dynamic young winemaker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION: \u003c\/strong\u003eAdelaide Hills, South Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:  \u003c\/strong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE: \u003c\/strong\u003eRose Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER: \u003c\/strong\u003eMatt Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustainable Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%: \u003c\/strong\u003e13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE: \u003c\/strong\u003e750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46954763878549,"sku":"5708","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Praeter-Stolen-Moments-Rosato-2024-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1772010459"},{"product_id":"piero-benevelli-langhe-nebbiolo-2023","title":"Piero Benevelli Langhe Nebbiolo 2023","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Massimo's Langhe Nebbiolo offers a fragrant and perfumed expression of Nebbiolo from Monforte.

His son, Massimo, started his training in the vineyard at age 14 and quickly learned the core principle that still guides him today—to make great wine, you must first have great grapes. The young Massimo Benevelli has developed into an extremely talented Piemontese grower. He exhibits a total command of the production process, from vine to bottle. When tasting his production during various stages of aging—in barrel, tank, and bottle—there is a consistency, a touch, an intangible quality that is the mark of something great. His wines show character, soul, and originality. The Benevelli holdings are mostly concentrated in the southeastern-facing hillside cru of “Ravera” in the deep southeast of the Barolo zone. The wines from Ravera have the distinction of combining the structural strength of neighboring Serralunga d’Alba with the concentration and richness of Bussia and the other crus further north. Massimo’s Baroli are approachable young but like any great Barolo, reveal their true potential after at least five years or more in bottle.

It is designed to express the finesse of the Valtellina terroir. Vinified and raised in stainless steel tanks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eDue to its challenging climate and terrain, Valtellina was once regarded as the last frontier of Italian viticulture. Tucked up in the northern pocket of Lombardy hugging the Swiss border, Valtellina has come a long way in a short period of time and is steadily shaking off the ‘Piedmont’s poor cousin’ label. The wines here have carved a path entirely their own. Although the Valtellina Valley is only a 2.5hr drive from Milan, it’s surprisingly isolated and is often spoken about as being the least explored wine region in the country. To the north are the imposing Swiss Alps, and to the south is the Orobie Bergamo National Park. The valley runs from East to West split down the middle by the Adda River and is broken up into 5 subzones. At the eastern end of the valley in the zone of Valgella, near the town of Teglio is where you will find the tiny Estate of Sandro Fay.\u003cbr\u003eLike many producers in this region, Sandro Fay focuses on Chiavennasca (named after the nearby town of Chiavenna) – the region’s specialty and their unique expression of Nebbiolo. In recent times, global pressures have encouraged Valtellina producers to re-label their wines as Nebbiolo – a shame! Almost all of Fay’s wines come from the Valgella zone which gets a little tempering influence from Lake Como, resulting in a classic alpine vine growing area when coupled with the fact that their vineyards range between 400m and 800m. It’s also worth noting that the soil breakdown here is almost the opposite to the Langhe with literally no traces of clay or limestone. Here, it is mostly primary rock and sand which proves to work well with their climate and choice of vines. Sandro Fay first commercially produced wine back in 1973, but in recent times, his son Marco (winemaker) and daughter Elena (sales \u0026amp; marketing) have taken over the reins, so it’s truly a family managed Estate.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the region is regarded as one of the most challenging in Italy to make quality wine, Fay are highly regarded and produce an array of wonderfully food orientated wines that show vitality, racy acidity, salty minerals, and lingering fine tannins. Maybe the closest Nebbiolo comes to Pinot Noir? \u003cstrong\u003eImporter Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lombardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSUB-REGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Valtellina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chiavennasca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marco Fay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47240210808981,"sku":"5844","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/P1250960.jpg?v=1776227454"}],"url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/collections\/nebbiolo.oembed","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
