2025 Little Frances 'Insolita' Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo without the grip. Bright red berries, medium weight and soft tannins — approachable and easy-drinking rather than the big, structured style Nebbiolo is known for. 'Insolita' means unusual: Nebbiolo on pure granite is a rare pairing, and this is Erin Pooley's first red.

Location: Beechworth, Victoria
Maker: Erin Pooley (Little Frances); fruit organically farmed by Peter Graham on pure granite.
Winemaking: debut Nebbiolo - in 2025 the fruit that would normally have gone to rose was made as a traditional red instead. Sealed with Diam.
Pair with: fat and salt - Black Onyx rump cap, beef & comte bomba, manchego with fig chutney.
