Elvio Cogno, Langhe DOC (Piedmont, Italy) Nascetta 2016

 The white varietal Nascetta was first documented more than 140 years ago.  It is the only indigenous white grape from the Langhe and exhibits a number of characteristics similar to Grüner Veltliner, Assyrtiko and sometimes the wooliness of Chenin Blanc when aged.  This wine is floral and herbaceous, with the faintest hint of honey aroma.  The palate is fresh and thirst quenching, and finishes with a distinquishable salinity on the finish.
