| Description: | This Langhe Nebbiolo hails from premium sites across the Barolo region, taking the declassified fruit from Borgogno's Cru vineyards and blending them into a more approachable, early-drinking style of the variety.\nIt smacks of the 'Baby Barolo' style, with ample structure in the form of firm, moreish tannins and billowing red berry fruits. It's light, yet persistent and delightful to drink from day one.\nThis is a very high quality Langhe that can be opened now or in a decade's time.\n\nWinemaker's Notes\n\n\n\nFollowing a manual harvest of Nebbiolo grapes, in the cellar the grapes are destemmed and pressed. This is followed by a spontaneous fermentation in large concrete tanks, at a temperature between 22°C and 28°c for about 15 days. This is followed by a soft pressing and ageing into large oak barrels for 10 months. Then 4 months of aging in bottle.Ruby red color with violet highlights that will tend to garnet. On the nose persistent hints of flowers such as roses and violets and fresh fruit, but also pepper, spices. In the mouth freshness, light acidity, elegant tannins. Harmonious.\n\n\n |
