The Nascetta vine is a native of the Alba area, grown in the Langhe, in the hills between Barolo and Novello. Rovasenda mentions it in his "Saggio di un'ampelografia universal" of 1877 and describes it as "a very delicate grape and an exquisite wine". Over time, however, this vine variety has faded into the background and today, unfortunately, the Nascetta is grown exclusively in the municipality of Novello and moreover in a very limited way. Nascetta, Anascetta or Nas-cëtta are the names that have been used over the centuries to indicate this vine, which miraculously survived extinction. Only recently have some winemakers become interested in Nascetta again. In 2002, the Nascetta became part of the Langhe DOC and in 2010 the Langhe "Nas-cëtta" typology of the Municipality of Novello DOC was recognized. The calcareous-clayey marls of the Langhe give Nascetta wines structure, acidity, complexity and minerality. The Nascetta wine has a bright and brilliant straw yellow color. The nose is dominated by hints of white flowers and citrus and fruity aromas. On the palate it is a wine with a good structure and remarkable freshness, enveloping, savory, with a slightly bitter finish.
