2022 Dal Zotto Nebbiolo from King Valley is a refined Australian interpretation of one of Italy’s most noble grape varieties. Nebbiolo originates from Piedmont and is famous for producing wines with bright acidity, firm tannins and complex aromas often described as rose, cherry and spice.
The 2022 vintage opens with lifted aromas of rose petals, cherry, plum and hibiscus, complemented by notes of alpine herbs, pepper, anise and subtle spice. The palate is elegant yet structured, showing vibrant red fruit, savoury complexity and fine tannins that give the wine excellent balance and length. Oak is present but restrained, allowing the character of the Nebbiolo grape to shine through.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, Nebbiolo from King Valley is a style we enjoy recommending to customers who appreciate Italian-inspired wines with structure and elegance. The 2022 Dal Zotto Nebbiolo captures the classic aromatics of the variety while remaining approachable in its youth. It pairs beautifully with slow-cooked beef, lamb dishes, truffle pasta or aged cheeses, and will also reward a few years in the cellar.
