The wine

Description and technical sheet

Nibiò di Cascina degli Ulivi is a red table wine made from Dolcetto grapes with red stems, locally known as Nibiô in the dialect, part of the ancient tradition in the Tassarolo and Gavi area. Stefano Bellotti has never wanted to conform to the rules of the regulatory bodies, which he considered at odds with his own beliefs and enslaved to the market; for this reason, the grapes that make up the wine do not appear on the label (and theoretically cannot be declared). Cascina degli Ulivi, first under the revolutionary and provocative figure of Stefano, today with the heir of his vision, his daughter Ilaria, mainly cultivates Cortese grapes, then Moscato, Traminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Ancellotta, Barbera, Dolcetto, and Merlot; despite the company being located within the boundaries of the Gavi denomination, as mentioned above, none of the wines are labeled as such. We are on the border between Piedmont and Liguria, in Novi Ligure, where the lands are made of ferrous acidic clays, not generous and difficult to cultivate. Over the years, Stefano's idea of a self-sufficient company that he dreamed of takes shape: alongside the vineyard, there are arable fields, woods, orchards, a vegetable garden, and a breeding of Cabannina cattle to support the work in the Agriturismo. The vineyard from which Nibiô originates covers 4 hectares, and the plants are around 20 years old; the grapes are pressed and destemmed, fermented spontaneously, and macerated in 25 hl oak barrels for 6 weeks, then the wine matures for 12 months in the same containers. No sulfur is added at any stage.

NIBIÓ CASCINA DEGLI ULIVI: TASTING

Cascina degli Ulivi's Nibiô presents itself as a dark ruby red wine. On the nose, it is vinous, a concentrated mix of red fruit with slightly herbaceous and undergrowth notes; in the mouth, it is powerful and initially brusque, with pronounced tannins, savory and long. This wine needs time and over the years it becomes more refined and gains elegance, it pairs excellently with mixed boiled meats.
