Case Corini Nilda Barbera Natural Wine | Organic Biodynamic
Named after Lorenzo Corino's grandmother, Nilda is Lorenzo & Guido Corino's new red wine from 20 year old vineyards in their hometown of Costigliole d'Asti. It is a field blend mainly of Barbera, along with a mix of other old varieties native to the area. It has aromas of spiced milk chocolate cookies and has a fresh, ripe dark fruit taste with an earthy funkiness and great texture. This vegan wine is made naturally, with no intervention of any kind made and no sulfites added. After a gentle crushing, fermentation starts with native yeast fermentation and wines are left with skin contact for 3-4 weeks, followed by about 12 mos of aging in wooden barrels.

Lorenzo Corino and his son Guido, along with his daughter Luisa, are 6th generation family of natural wine grower-makers, who started cultivating and making wine in 1846. Their property sits in between Alba and Asti at 260m. They make really tasty barbera and nebbiolo wines, and have recently introduced Orange Moscato wines to their portfolio. Making natural wines since 1967, Lorenzo Corino has patented the Corino Method for natural wine cultivation and production. As quoted by a customer ' Their wine is not an exaggeration to say that the most popular now among Italian natural wine lovers.' As with all natural wines, especially those of Lorenzo Corino, we suggest letting them breathe before tasting.
