| Story | This wine takes its name from the small chapel on the slopes of the vineyard, dedicated to "Our Lady of the Snow". In 1787 Thomas Jefferson, at the time ambassador to France, came to Italy to study rice cultivation. Stopping in Turin, he tasted Nebbiolo for the first time. Giving us one of the most authoritative accounts of the taste of the time, he describes this wine as "almost as sweet as soft Madeira, as dry on the palate as Bordeaux and as lively as Champagne". As wine lovers, we could not resist the allure of trying our hand at a classic method that would embrace this ancient and forgotten history. |
