LANGHE NAS-CËTTA FROM THE COMMUNE OF NOVELLO DOC
A unique local, a great semiaromatic white in a land of reds, which has found in Le Strette one of the protagonists of its rediscovery.
The Nas-cëtta di Novello is a unique wine, a tribute to the territory, an added value to the variety of wines of the Langhe region. Son of an ancient white grape variety with roots in Novello soil, that almost disappeared until a few years ago.
