Uva Rara

The Colline Novaresi are the gentle rolling hills north of Novara in Alto Piemonte that have had a noble history of fine wine making for centuries. Uva Rara (Rare Grape) is a native varietal that derived its name from its loose forming clusters and sparse berries. It is also rare to find Uva Rara bottled as a 100% cultivar, as it is here. The careful field selection of the fruit, fermentation on the peel for five days and six months aging in steel produces a medium weight ruby-red wine with elegance and aromas of black currants, rose and spice.
