Nascetta and Snail Tasting
Tasting and guided tour in the winery of the Azienda Agricola Passone, whose wine production finds in the Nas-cetta vine an interpreter of distinction.
You will taste two Nas-cetta proposals plus the Cugià bubbles of Merenda Sinoira, paired with appetizers made with fine 0-kilometer snails.
For years the Passone family has been cultivating its vineyards with dedication.
In 2020 they decided to take on a challenge and produce their first label "langhe doc nascetta del comune di novello" produced entirely with grapes from their own estates.
A challenge that will continue over the years, adding new products starting in the fall of 2020.
In addition to the wines of the Passone winery, thanks to the collaboration and friendship with two other wineries, the tasting features bubbly "Cugià" from Merenda Sinoira and top-quality chiocciole from the Bove Paolo winery.
The Nas-cetta, a Langarolo white wine, is born from the ancient native Novellese vine of the same name, the result of a careful campaign of recovery and repopulation of vines in the territory of origin.
Today, as then, the vine finds the ideal soil and microclimate in the vineyards of the cool municipality of Novello, at an altitude of about 500 meters.
Introduced to the market in the last decade, and although still produced in small quantities, it is already counted among the best DOC whites of the Langhe thanks to its original scents, tending toward hazelnut.
