How it tastes
In the glass
A candid blend where Dolcetto’s fruit meets Nebbiolo’s grip and lift.
Profile
Nose
Red cherry, wild plum, and crushed raspberry from Dolcetto, intertwined with dried rose, subtle spice, and light earth drawn from Nebbiolo.
Palate
Medium-bodied with bright acidity and gently assertive tannins. Juicy dark fruit provides immediacy, while Nebbiolo contributes structure, floral tones, and a faintly tarry nuance that adds depth.
Finish
Persistent and lightly austere, with savoury notes and a fine, drying grip.
“A rainy 2024 made it lighter and brighter than usual: easy to drink, with a nod to Gamay.”

- Cellar
- Spontaneous fermentation in steel. The two varieties are blended before bottling.
- Additions
- Minimal sulphur, no fining or filtration.
Where it's from · Piemonte, Italy
LA MORRA
La Morra sits at the western edge of the Barolo zone, one of its highest and most panoramic communes. Compared to villages such as Serralunga d’Alba or Monforte, La Morra’s soils contain a higher proportion of Tortonian calcareous marl — lighter, more fertile formations rich in limestone and clay.
The winemaker · La Morra, Langhe, Piedmont, Italy
Nadia Curto
Langhe wines shaped by La Morra’s limestone finesse and classical restraint.
Nadia Curto represents a new generation rooted firmly in Langhe tradition. Based in La Morra, her work is grounded in family vineyards while shaped by a clear, thoughtful personal direction. Rather than modernizing through technique or chasing stylistic trends, she has chosen refinement through precision — understanding her sites parcel by parcel and adapting her cellar practices accordingly.
"In La Morra, elegance is not a choice — it is what the soil gives you if you listen carefully."
- Style
- Traditionally framed Langhe wines with clarity and structural precision
- Vineyard
- Hillside parcels in La Morra on calcareous clay soils
- Farming
- Sustainable, hands-on viticulture with careful parcel management
- Winemaking
- Classical macerations, measured extraction, ageing in large neutral oak
- Signature
- Perfumed Nebbiolo and structured reds shaped by La Morra’s limestone-driven finesse

Good to know
Questions we get a lot
Is this a natural wine?
All our wines come from small growers who farm organically or biodynamically and keep intervention in the cellar to a minimum: native yeasts, little or no added sulphites. Every producer has their own approach; the details are in “From the vineyard to the bottle” above.
Why is it a bit cloudy, or is there sediment?
Many of our wines are bottled unfiltered. A light haze or some sediment is natural and harmless: stand the bottle upright for a few hours and pour gently.
How long does it keep once open?
It depends on the wine (see “Once open” above). As a rule: cork back in and keep it in the fridge, reds included.

We ship Tuesday to Saturday, usually right away. In Germany delivery takes 2–3 working days; rates for every country are on our shipping page.
