We had leftover lobster ravioli pasta in vodka cream sauce from our fabulous dinner at Emmolfo Miramar Beach over the weekend - featured in these pages in this blogpost - Hudson Chardonnay BYOB dinner at Commelfo Miramar Beach.
I opened this highly rated special release Nebbiolo that I had just acquired earlier in the day at the new Total Wine super store, just opened in the community, and was eager try.
Mauro Sebaste 40th Anniversary Barolo 2019
This is from Mauro Sebaste Winery, founded in 1991 by Mauro Dogliani, evolved from the Barolo estate founded by his mother, Sylla Dogliani, known as “La Dama di Langa”. He is joined in the family venture by his wife Maria Teresa and their daughters, Sylla and Angelica, and the latest generation, Sylla's daughters Costanza, Celeste and Camilla.
The winery estate is located in the village of Alba as are vineyards located in the area of Santa Rosalia, on the ridge of the hill that lies between Diano d’Alba and Grinzane Cavour.
They operate nearly 80 acres of vineyards that are located in more than 10 different communes, between Langhe, Roero and Monferrato Astigiano in the Barolo DOCG (Appellation) in the Italian Piedmont wine region. The area is located roughly midway between Genoa on the Mediterranean cost, and the inland city of Turin in northwestern Italy.
Mauro Sebaste produce a portfolio of Barolo wines comprised 100% from the Nebbiolo grape, the signature designated varietal of the area in accordance with DOCG specifications. The grapes are sourced mainly from Serralunga d’Alba, one of the main communes in the DOCG area, where the terroir is ideally suited for Nebbiolo grapes to reach their potential excellence resulting in wines of rare strength, elegance and complexity. Other estate vineyards of Nebbiolo da Barolo grapes are located in the territory of equally prestigious municipalities such as La Morra, Verduno and Monforte d’Alba.
In total they produce an average of 150,000 bottles a year, spread across several different labels and types as well as a range of grappas wines made from our pomace.
