“Pic Ten”, Vino Rosso

"Pic Ten"--after "Picotendro," the Valdostana moniker for Nebbiolo--comes from 30-year-old vines outside the village of Donnas in a site called Arnat. Fermented via indigenous yeasts with 100% whole clusters and aged one year in a single 500-liter oak barrel, this is a spicy, lifted, adamantly Alpine Nebbiolo with charmingly tangy fruit and terrific balance.
