Haarmeyer Nebbiolo 2019

Not your typical Nebbiolo. Forget Barolo and Barbaresco for a moment — this is a pure expression of California Nebbiolo from Lodi, and it is a revelation. Light in colour and alcohol, it offers damson, tea, prune, and fig with a purity of acidity and fruit that is beautifully balanced. There is nothing extracted or heavy about it; just a clean, honest wine that lets the grape speak.

A testament to hands-off winemaking without being rustic, this is Nebbiolo for those who love the grape’s elegance but want to explore what California can do with it.

• Pairs beautifully with light tomato and meat pasta
• Excellent with charcuterie
• Lovely alongside salads with nuts, cheese, and cream
