2021 Alessandro Salvano DWNL 'Outside' Nebbiolo

Place: Montelupo Albese — Piedmont, Italy

Variety: Nebbiolo

Farming: Organic

Born into a winemaking family, Alessandro produces expressive, energetic wines from organically farmed vineyards in Montelupo Albese. Guided by a “Drink Wine, Not Labels” philosophy, he focuses on purity, freshness, and site expression. A rising talent in Piemonte, his wines offer a compelling, contemporary take on traditional Langhe varieties.

As per the above, Outside refers to Alessandro's position a stone's throw too far from the Barolo zone. It almost reaches the same ageing requirement as Barolo (38 months total, 18 in oak) at 30 months total. Immensely approachable now, but with power to support it for many years yet.
