2024 Braida "La Regina" Langhe Nascetta

The 2024 Braida "La Regina" Langhe Nascetta is a sophisticated white wine that champions the rediscovery of Nascetta, a rare native grape of the Langhe. Often compared to great German Rieslings for its ageability and mineral evolution, "La Regina" (The Queen) is known for its distinctive "aristocratic" character. The nose is highly aromatic and fresh, featuring citrus zest, yellow apple, and pear layered with delicate notes of acacia honey and wild herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and "savory," balancing a core of exotic fruit (pineapple and melon) with a vertical, flinty minerality and a long, saline finish.
