Nas-Cëtta celebrates 10 years of the DOC with a virtual tasting

10 years have passed since, thanks to the commitment of the Novello producers, the Nas-Cëtta has been officially recognized in the Langhe Doc Nas-cetta of the Municipality of Novello. To celebrate this important milestone, the Nas-Cëtta Manufacturers Association of the Municipality of Novello has decided to create a virtual event, the Nas-Cëttaland Virtual .

The appointment is on Zoom, Tuesday 7 July at 11.00 am , for the guided tasting that will involve all 11 member producers. This is the first official presentation of the Association , aimed at the press, operators and enthusiasts. It will be the way to know how the rediscovery of this variety took place. A long almost forgotten because they are not productive, the Nas-CETTA is an ancient vine, mentioned already in 1700 as a typical grape C omune Novello.

The rediscovery of this white grape is due to Elvio Cogno with Valter Fissore (today president of the Association) and some local producers, in particular the Le Strette farm, which in the nineties decided to experiment with a pure vinification.

In 2010 it was officially recognized as an autochthonous white wine from the Langhe, with the possibility of vinifying it with only 100% Nas-cetta grapes: a milestone achieved thanks to a small group of wine growers from the municipality of Novello, one of the municipalities symbol of another great wine, Barolo.

The guests at Nas-Cëttaland Virtual will receive an original tasting kit with 11 bottles, one for each associated cellar, to be tasted together with the producers of this wine.

It will also be an opportunity for the Association to present the new website https://www.nascettadinovello.com/ , created on the occasion of the tenth anniversary and to announce the opening of the new Municipal Cellar of Novello ; a real "house of wine" where all the wines of the members can be tasted and purchased but also a wide range of local wines.
