Crafted by \u003cstrong\u003ePorello Marco Azienda Agricola\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is made from \u003cstrong\u003e100% Nebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes and combines elegance, typicity, and pleasant drinkability, offering a profile consistent with the Roero tradition and the authentic character of the denomination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTerritory and wine style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe origin from the Vigna Valmaggiore area evokes a particularly suitable context for Nebbiolo cultivation, where sandy soils contribute to producing wines with a finer, more fragrant, and smoother texture compared to other expressions of the same grape. The \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo d'Alba\u003c\/strong\u003e by Porello stands out for its refined and measured style, capable of combining structure and immediacy. The winemaking process involves a maceration of 10-12 days and alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel, while the aging for 12 months in 25 hl Slavonian oak barrels guides the wine towards a harmonious and well-defined profile, without weighing down its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003elight ruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e, typical of the grape variety and the elegant style of the area. On the nose, fine notes of \u003cstrong\u003ewild strawberries\u003c\/strong\u003e and delicate floral hints of \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e emerge, accompanied by an overall subtle and fragrant sensation. On the palate, the wine shows good body, balance, and a very pleasant drink, with present but well-integrated tannins and a freshness that supports the sip. The finish is consistent, clean, and of good persistence, with an elegant closure that invites the next glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo D'Alba 2021 Vigna Valmaggiore DOC Porello\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs with great versatility to dishes of Piedmontese cuisine and beyond. It is ideal with tajarin with ragù, agnolotti del plin, roasts of white or red meat that are not too rich, delicate braises, and medium-intensity aged cheeses. Its finesse also makes it suitable for preparations with mushrooms, light game, and flavorful second courses, as long as they are not excessively structured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eServing temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe the \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo D'Alba 2021 Vigna Valmaggiore DOC Porello\u003c\/strong\u003e at a temperature between \u003cstrong\u003e16 and 18 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e. If possible, it is helpful to open the bottle a few minutes before serving to enhance the aromatic expression, especially in the early stages of opening.
