Our ReviewCustomer Reviews

Colline Novaresi, Piedmont, Italy

Francesco Brigatti crafts classic expressions of Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo-based wines, as well as rare varietal bottlings of indigenous grapes such as Vespolina and Uva Rara. Uva Rara, known more famously as Bonarda, acquires the “rara” (sparse) designation in the Colline Novaresi due to the variety’s propensity to form unusually loose bunches with sparsely distributed grapes in each cluster. Brigatti’s 2020 Selvalunga presents a vivid red ruby hue followed by pure expressions of red raspberries, cherry skin, violets, and rosewater. Brisk and vigorous on the palate, the wine buoys its chewy kernel of earthy red fruits with shimmering acidity and fine, buffered tannins. The Selvalunga finishes savory and appetizingly bitter with reprises of tart cherry, cranberry, and raspberry fruit accented by impressions of tobacco, menthol, savory herbs, and rose-scented potpourri. Delicious, unusual, and thoroughly satisfying, this is must-try wine for all fans of northern Italian red wines. Pair this versatile wonder now and over the coming three years with just about anything except seafood.
