Winemaker's Comments: 2002 Marchesi di Montecristo Nerello Del Bastardo Italian Red
Nerello Del Bastardo can only be described as a Super Piedmontese wine invented purely for fun. When winemakers in Piemonte wish to make Barolo or Barbaresco, the laws governing these wines only allow a certain quantity after aging (minimum 4 years) to be classified Barolo or Barbaresco D.O.C.G.
I Superi (the excess) can only be sold as table wine even though the products are practically the same. Master winemark: Marco Dal Bianco and Italian Wine Guru: Dr. Zuliani Flavio came up with this blend of aged wines adding just a touch of something secret.
This creation is a breakthrough in winemaking. One might say this is the illegitimate child of Barolo and Barbaresco hence the name: Nerello del Bastardo meaning: The Bastard's Nerello.
This full-bodied red wine is a perfect compliment to game, red meat past a rich cheese or even on its own.

Soft texture, slightly sour, but desert air dry. Good on its own, but might be better with a chaser.
