Description
Pouring a jeweled ruby color, the 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo is expressive on opening, with an inviting nose of preserved cranberries, pressed roses, and cinnamon candies. The palate is medium-bodied and well-structured, with well-defined, compact tannins, an even spine of acidity, and a chalky texture on the finish. It is a very appealing Langhe Nebbiolo with a good deal of personality to drink over the coming 4-5 years.

Varietal
Nebbiolo
The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy’s finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means ‘fog’ in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.
