The Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo DOC "Bigin" 2024 by Francesca Castaldi represents a dynamic and immediate expression of Nebbiolo (locally known as Spanna) grown in Briona, within the Alto Piemonte region. The name "Bigin" is an affectionate tribute to family tradition, being the nickname of Marco’s grandfather, who was the first to tend these lands.

The grapes come from soils characterized by surface clays mixed with pebbles and sand in the deeper layers—a composition that ensures excellent drainage and imparts a distinct minerality to the wine.

The 2024 vintage in Alto Piemonte was marked by a return to a more "classic" and rainy climate compared to the drought years of 2022 and 2023. The abundant water reserves accumulated in spring allowed for slow and steady ripening. For the 2024 Bigin, this translates into a wine with a more moderate alcohol content and vibrant freshness, prioritizing aromatic elegance over structural power.

From the producer

Castaldi Francesca

Nestled in the landscape of Briona, the winery of Francesca and Marco acts as a guardian of Alto Piemonte, interpreting viticulture as a harmonious dialogue with the environment. Across their 8 hectares in the Colline Novaresi, nature dictates the rules: although certified in integrated pest management, the farming spontaneously evolves into a biological regime whenever the vintage allows, minimizing human intervention. Here, the work consists of ancient gestures: the vines are tended exclusively by hand, respecting the plant's natural timing through to the manual harvest.
