Clendenen Nebbiolo 750Ml

Winery Notes
“Sourced from a 16 acre site planted at Bien Nacido Vineyard in 1994 under Jim Clendenen’s direction. The site is cool, breezy, and on a hillside where the soil is gravelly and shallow—all contributing to the intensity of the fruit. These plantings were originally part of an Italian varietal project Jim had called Il Podere “The Pip” cuvee is an early barrel selection from the “Bricco Buon Natale” Nebbiolo program. This cuvee is aged about 4 years in 500L Hungarian oak puncheons (the “Bricco Buon Natale” Nebbiolo typically sees 6-7 years in barrel). “The Pip” series is named in homage to Jim’s deceased, amazing Border Collie “Pip”, former winery mascot.”
