Description

This is a moreish, tangy, drink-now red blend, with clear Nebbiolo dominance in the floral, cherry flavour profile.

This shows dominantly fresh aromatic Nebbiolo, with cherries, flowers and aniseed. The Pinot Noir brings some squishy strawberry flavours while the Barbera & Dolcetto bring some refreshing acidity to the blend.

No oak, all stainless steel for extra freshness and drive.

93 Points - "37.5/35.5/16/11% nebbiolo/pinot nero/barbera/dolcetto. The inspiration is young, unwooded, fresh Italian wines. It's all about the fruit and the fruit's tannin, the latter providing backing to the former, exploding in a rush of red cherries, plums, anise, dried herbs, mandarin skin and the prettiest aromatic florals. So juicy, fleshy and fresh. Such purity of unoaked fruit flavour is a real treat." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

92 Points - "This is an interesting light to medium boded blend of Nebbiolo, Pinot Nero, Barbera and Dolcetto. There’s a beautiful captivating aroma of cherry and strawberry that gets you in immediately. The palate is silky smooth with just enough tannin to give it structure and poise. You want an all-purpose current drinking wine with some pasta and the like, then this wine’s hard to beat." - Ray Jordan (Wine Pilot)

    Really interesting drop

    It’s an interesting medium bodied blend. Definitely herbaceous on the nose, which is a little startling at first! Certainly quaffable. Could be chilled!

Various clones of Nebbiolo and Barbera were allocated for Fresco, as well as our oldest block of Pinot Nero. The 111 and F12 clones of Nebbiolo makes up the majority of the blend and contribute tannin structure and perfume, while the other varieties provide acid structure and lift respectively. All fruit is in the Nebbiolo is cane pruned, shoot thinned early and then bunch thinned up to three times during vintage to control yield. A mx of training techniques are used in the Barbera and Dolcetto, Pinot Nero is Spur pruned. Nebbiolo and Barbera undertook whole berry ferment to minimise tannin extract and then pressed into stainless steel. All varieties were cool-fermented separately, left on lees and allowed to go through natural malolactic fermentation; key to softening the acidity in some varieties. The aim of this winemaking process is to harness aromatics whilst still extracting tannin.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
