Notes
Importer's Notes: A local tradition wants Nebbiolo d'Alba made in the area on the right side of Tanaro river, near Alba, between the Barolo and Barbaresco areas. There, Nebbiolo maintains a good round body, even if soft, delicate and with little tannin. Cumot is a pleasant and long-lived wine in fact it keeps its bouquet of fruits and vanilla. It reaches maturity after about 18 months in small oak barrels. It's perfect with rich meat and game dishes, such as braised hare. Excellent with matured cheeses from the Cuneo Alps, such as Raschera and Castelmagno.Best served at 18/20°C in a wide-mouthed wine glass to appreciate its bouquet which, with ageing, reveals hints of spices.Bepe Accomo's Bricco Maiolica has been in the same family since 1928. The farm is located on a steep hill called ‘Maiolica' in Diano D'Alba in the heart of Piedmont. Dolcetto were the first grapes planted in 1928, followed by Barbera in 1930.Bepe's grandfather, Guiseppe, had a passion for tannin in wines, so began to cultivate Nebbiolo in 1950. Bepe's father Angelo began to plant white wine grapes in 1970. Now a 3rd generation winemaker, Bepe is continuing what his great-grandfather started. The family now has 20 hectares under vine. The wines are artisan in style.
