2020 Platinetti Ghemme Vigna Ronco al Maso (PRE-ARRIVAL ONLY)

Pre-arrival price only, wine will be $99 when landed early December.

95 Points, Gary Walsh (The Wine Front) - “All the things. Crushed almond biscotti, cherry, raspberry, liquorice root, menthol, alpine herbs. Medium-bodied, succulent and yet stony and kind of volcanic (don’t mind me), with liquorice and ripe red berries, dense and chewy tannin that lends a distinctly tactile feel to the wine, blood orange, juicy acidity, and a finish of excellent length. Here’s a wine so distinctive and good. Yes.” Drink 2024 - 2035+

A perennial favourite of ours & one of the most ageworthy nebbiolo wines to be found in Italy.

100% Nebbiolo from the old Ronco al Maso cru in Ghemme. This is from a terraced vineyard with fluvial-glacial soil with sandy and pebbly texture. 

The minimum vine age here is 45 years. The wine is raised in 30 hectolitre Slavonian botti for 36 months.

Winemaker Andrea Fontana has an uncompromising commitment to minimal intervention winemaking from his superb holdings of old vines.  Platinetti are true emerging superstars of Piemonte winemaking.  The Ronco Maso (cru) vineyard produces Ghemme of intense minerality and wonderful perfume.
