Tasting Notes: The grapes here could technically be made into a Barbaresco. Despite being made as a pet nat, Fabio uses unique bottles here to permit a slow, complete loss of bubbles because: "the bubbles may make the wine turbid and he believes you must drink this wine at an opalescent color."
The label cryptically states: "Count Cavour absorbed in the Moulin Rouge." Fabio often talks about how this wine shows the burlesque side of Nebbiolo, away from rigid tradition. Somehow Count Cavour, a statesman and a leading figure in the movement toward Italian unification, got involved. Maybe because he was so rigid?
The grapes are destemmed and macerated for between four and twelve hours. Fermented in demijohn and/or homemade porcelain vessels for one year.
