Anas-Cëtta is an invented name that was used initially because the wine was not a DOC. (In Italy it is not possible to use the varietal name if the wine is not DOC.) In 2010 all that changed when Nascetta of Novello gained DOC status. Since the first limited production in 1994, the Elvio Cogno winery has drawn upon the knowledge of the old-timers in Novello to make a wine for the youth of today. Winemaking documents from the second half of the 19th century mention this wine of Mediterranean origin, whose sapidity is reminiscent of great hot-clime varietals such as Vermentino, from which, according to some studies, it may derive.

100% estate vineyards

Following a cold winter without excess, yet a good amount of snow, February and March were rainy and very humid which delayed budbreak. June, July and August were warm and dry. Autumn was dry and windy, with harvest delayed by 7 to 10 days compared to our normal harvest dates; yields were within an average range.

Straw-yellow in color with golden highlights. The nose is fine and elegant with just the right intensity, exuding complex, lingering scents of wild flowers and herbs, citrus and exotic fruits. The bouquet suggests acacia honey, sage and rosemary. Its pleasant, warm and balanced structure makes this ideal as an accompaniment to vegetable dishes, white meats, fish and creamy cheeses.
