Casa Freschi's 'baby' Nebbiolo. Not a serious price but a serious wine from a long established vineyard in Langhorne Creek.

Preceding the 2022 season our Nebbiolo vineyard had endured spring frosts in 2018, 2019 and 2021. Unfortunately another severe one occurred in the spring leading up to the 2022 harvest wiping out 80% of the crop. Also, the third year in a row with a “La Nina” weather pattern (bringing cooler and wetter conditions) usually bodes well for nebbiolo which enjoys a long, extended ripening in the cooler months of autumn. This was indeed the case for the miniscule amount of fruit remaining on the vine. The resultant Ragazzi cuvee shows wonderful aromatics of rose, raspberry, cranberry, hops and a lively, textural and savoury palate.
