What else should i tell about a wine called Number one ? It’s the Numero Uno Plozza Vini , a Nebbiolo from Lombardia that will surprise you , more or less as much as I have been surprised !
In fact Numero Uno by Plozza Vini is a wine made from Nebbiolo grapes from Valtellina , it’s similar to Sforzato Wines but the Numero Uno Plozza Vini has more features to be discovered.
Let’s start with the alcohol content that raise from average 14,5 of sforzato wines to 15 % , but this is not a problem.
So it’s an harder wine to drink?
Even if the pigeon blood red color tending to black is scary , we are faced with a fruity smell (prunes and raisins ) as very few wines can give .
Yes, its softness it’s amazing , hard to fine in long aged wines , and it amazes also the speed with which it reaches the optimum flavor once opened , flavor that is full bodied , tannic with a fruity long finish.
But what do we can pair with this Numero Uno Plozza Vini? Personally I would drink alone to savor the flavors better , or if you want to drink it with a meal then choose polenta with braised beef or venison .
Let me tell that is better to avoid pairing with normal red meats , they would be paved by the strength of this wine .
How much is this? Less than Piemontese Nebbiolo that although many acclaimed sometimes they don’t have half of the appeal of this wine .
Serve at 18 ° – 20 ° C in a glass very large , leaving a few minutes to oxygenate , let me tell Plozza my congratulations , and let me say that number one is the correct name for this wine…
