The Story
The Stroppiana Langhe Nascetta (often under the "Altea" label) is a rare and expressive white wine made from the indigenous Nascetta grape, a varietal that was nearly forgotten before its modern revival in the Langhe region. It presents a brilliant straw-yellow colour with subtle greenish highlights and a complex, persistent bouquet of citrus, grapefruit, and pale stone fruit that evolves into notes of white flowers and exotic fruit. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and fleshy, offering a flood of crispness layered with orange blossom, honey, and pineapple, leading to a savory, silky finish with hints of dried fruit.
