Mombeltramo

1999 Roero 100% Nebbiolo

The Malvira Mombeltramo is a captivating red wine crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, showcasing the elegance and complexity characteristic of the Roero region. In the glass, it displays a charming ruby red hue that hints at its aging potential. The wine offers a full-bodied experience, harmoniously balanced with a moderate acidity that lends freshness and vibrancy. Its tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure without overpowering the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing exquisite notes of dark cherries, plum, and a touch of dried herbs, oscillating gracefully between ripe fruit and earthy undertones. With its well-integrated dryness, the Malvira Mombeltramo truly exemplifies the unique terroir of Roero, making it a delightful companion for rich pasta dishes or aged cheeses.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
