Avamposti Altrove is an elegant, expressive Nebbiolo from a single sub-hectare vineyard at Tenuta Il Cascinone in the Monferrato hills of Piemonte — a wine that captures the signature floral perfume, plum, and red berry character of the variety in a more approachable, early-drinking style than its Barolo and Barbaresco cousins. Planted in 2005 on a steep south-facing slope, aged up to two years in oak, and crafted with genuine care and precision, this is a Nebbiolo that over-delivers at every level.

Why You'll Love It

Azienda Agricola Il Cascinone was acquired by leading Piemonte producer Araldica in 1999 and has since become one of the Monferrato's most respected single-vineyard estates. Nebbiolo is Italy's most noble red grape — the variety behind Barolo and Barbaresco — but here it is presented in a more accessible, versatile style that makes it a brilliant everyday red as well as a serious food wine. If you love Pinot Noir and haven't yet discovered Nebbiolo, this is the perfect introduction.

Vineyard & Production

Sourced from less than 1 hectare of Nebbiolo vines planted in 2005 on a steep, south-facing slope of the south-east corner of the Soliti plot at Tenuta Il Cascinone. After harvesting, grapes undergo 15–16 days maceration on skins in stainless steel, followed by up to two years ageing in oak — 75% in large botti and 25% in barriques (not new) — to develop structure and subtle complexity.

Tasting Notes

Aromatic and floral on the nose, with plum, red berry, and savoury undertones. The palate is juicy and supple — ripe damson and black cherry, fine tannins, and a lightly spicy finish with real length and elegance.

Perfect Pairings

Excellent with steak, roasted vegetables, tomato-based pasta dishes, hearty risottos, and antipasti. Also a natural partner for braised beef, osso buco, and aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
