Pablo Fallabrino Notos
£16.95
Black cherry in colour with an aromatic nose of berries, dried rose petals, and spice. Silky-smooth, medium bodied and bright on the palate with fine tannins. A real delight. Hand-harvested and matured in old oak barrels for six months to soften slightly. Nebbiolo is in good hands with Pablo Fallabrino and his Italian heritage, developing full fruit flavour under the Uruguayan sunshine.
Ideal with butternut squash stew, tomato-based pasta dishes, or wild mushroom dishes and hard cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano.
Vinedo de los Vientos is owned by the Fallabrino family and produces limited run wines of the highest quality. The name means "Vineyard of the Winds" and is located near where the River Plate Estuary and Atlantic Ocean meet. Owned by the family since 1947, they upgraded to an ultra-modern winery in 1998 and over the past two decades have transformed into a world class winery. the property has been in the Fallabrino family since 1947. With an aim to produce great wines in small quantities, in 1998, the Fallabrino family completed, an ultra-modern winery with stainless steel tanks, pneumatic presses and French oak barrels. Despite these modern tools they like to make wine with forgotten or less-known old wine-making techniques. Over the past 17 years the vineyards have been completely replanted transforming the vineyards into a world class viticultural property. The winemaker, Pablo Fallabrino, a laid-back good-natured surfer, is the perfect catalyst to create a world class winery. His approach is not to over think the winemaking process; instead, he runs with his instincts, takes chances and makes extraordinary wines with his own personal signature.
