2022 Damiano Cavallini Fara 'Motto del Lupo'

Tiny quantities were allocated to us - so a 6 bottle limit sorry.

95 Points, Gary Walsh (The Wine Front) – “Cherry, liquorice, spice, walnuts, orange peel and amaro herbs. It’s ultra ‘mineral’, dusted with white pepper and spice, a juiciness to sweet and sour cherry, a crushed rock feel to tannin, aniseed and dried flower perfume carries on a precise finish of excellent length. There’s a bit of a rustic feel to this wine, but in a good way. It could only from be Alto Piedmont, such is its emphatic character.”

 It's 70% nebbiolo  & 30% vespolina from 85 year old vines.  It's supple & elegant - weighing in at just 12.5 % ABV.

Dustings of graphite & white pepper laced with alpine herbs too.  Red fruited flavours of maraschino cherry. Saline & balsamic through the mid palate. Taut and lean but not in the slightest sinewy. A stone laden finish of excellent length with some blood orange in the mix.  Alto-Piemonte at it’s finest.

One of the finds of 2025 for us, and one of the finest wines we tasted all year.
