Mamete Prevostini Botonero Nebbiolo 2024

Mamete Prevostini Botonero Nebbiolo 2024 is an elegant and fresh Italian red wine from Valtellina in Lombardy. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, the famous grape variety is locally known in Valtellina as Chiavennasca. The vineyards are located in the mountainous north of Italy, where the grapes grow on steep, sun-exposed terraces. The result is a refined and light-footed Nebbiolo with plenty of character.

Those familiar with Nebbiolo from famous wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco will discover a different side of this versatile grape with Botonero. Mamete Prevostini creates a young, fruity and approachable Nebbiolo that focuses on freshness, elegance and drinkability. Its lively character makes the wine particularly enjoyable at a young age.

In the glass, Botonero 2024 has a bright ruby-red colour. The nose is refined and inviting, with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries and other red fruits. Floral notes of violets and roses emerge behind the fruit, accompanied by subtle spicy and earthy nuances. The aromatic character is unmistakably Nebbiolo, while the overall style remains fresh and approachable.

On the palate, the wine is juicy, lively and elegant. Fresh acidity provides tension and energy, while fine tannins give the wine structure and length. The red fruit returns clearly on the palate, with cherry and red berries taking centre stage. The finish is fresh, subtly spicy and pleasantly persistent.

Botonero focuses on expressing the pure character of the Nebbiolo grape. The wine is aged in stainless steel rather than oak barrels, allowing the fruit, freshness and natural elegance to remain at the forefront. A relatively short maceration contributes to its refined structure and smooth character.

The combination of high-altitude vineyards, a cool mountain climate and the distinctive Nebbiolo grape gives Botonero its unique identity. While Nebbiolo from Piedmont can often be powerful and tannic, this wine from Valtellina reveals a lighter and more refined expression of the variety.

Mamete Prevostini Botonero Nebbiolo 2024 is an excellent choice for lovers of Italian red wine looking for elegance, freshness and character. It is a versatile Nebbiolo that will appeal both to those discovering the grape for the first time and to experienced wine enthusiasts.
