Hilberg Pasquero Nebbiolo D'Alba 2013 - Piedmont
Bottle size: 750ml
Out of Stock
Coming from biodynamic boutique producer Hilberg-Pasquero, this complex ’13 Nebbiolo leaps from the glass in a shower of juicy red fruits, truffles, baking spices, rose petals, warm earth, and espresso. Elegant and rustic, this juicy wine slinks across the palate with silky tannins, vivid electricity, and a shade of Barolo’s trademark ethereality--the 2013 is a terrific embodiment of its benchmark year! Deriving from vines aged 40 to 45 years old that are organically grown in limestone-rich, marble soils, grapes ferment for 25 days, and the wine ages for 22 months in barrique, followed by 22 months in bottle prior to release.

Producers notes
Make no doubt about it, the Nebbiolos and Barberas from Annette Hilberg & Michele Pasquero are amongst the best wines of their type in Piemonte. The wines don’t come from one the better recognised villages of Piemonte like La Morra or Neive, but the beautiful little hamlet of Priocca , which is located about 15km north-west of Barbaresco.
The vineyards are beautifully located, organically cultivated, has incredibly miserly low yields and the approach in the winery is strictly non-interventionalist with no fining or filtering maintaining the wines integrity. The result is wines that are generously flavoured yet beautifully balanced with great flow and show typical Piemonte character.
To the wines. The Vareji is a blend of Brachetto & Barbera that was made for only family and friends. This is a juicy, joyous fun wine with the Barbera tempering the Brachetto’s over the top character. The Barbera d’Alba is produced from younger vines on the property and is designed to be drunk earlier than the Superiore selection. This is a great value for money wine that punches well above its price point.
The Barbera d’Alba Superiore is an incredibly satisfying wine that delivers all the density and mouthfilling character that only Barbera can achieve.
The Nebbiolo d’Alba Superiore has a lot in common with the great single vineyard wines of Barbaresco. The wine has the archetypical Nebbiolo structure but has a much softer, more creamy textured core of fruit to balance the chalky abundant tannins.
