Piedmontese Elegance, Organic Viticulture, and Minimal Intervention in Ojos Negros
The Dominio de las Abejas "Nebbiolo" Red Wine 750 ml is a limited-production masterpiece crafted by the artisanal winery Dominio de las Abejas (conceived by winemaker Mauricio Ruiz Cantú and viticulturist Ricardo Michel). Sourced from the specific Picotener clone (CVT 415) of Piedmontese origin, this Nebbiolo is born in the cool microclimate of Valle de Ojos Negros under rigorous sustainable agriculture with CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) organic certification. Strictly dry in profile, its production follows a philosophy of minimal intervention: delicate extraction at low temperatures with native wild fermentation and aging in neutral oak. The result is a wine of extraordinary subtlety, with a medium body, high gastronomic acidity, structured yet polished tannins, and intoxicating aromas of dried rose petals, sour cherry, violet flower, leather, licorice, truffled mushroom, and mineral notes.
