How is this different from Nebbiolo d'Alba or Barolo?

Langhe DOC is the broadest, most flexible Nebbiolo appellation, generally requiring less aging than Nebbiolo d'Alba or Barolo — resulting in a fresher, more immediately drinkable wine.

What does it taste like?

Violet and redcurrant aromas with a fresh, mineral, raspberry-and-cherry palate, velvety tannins, and a balsamic finish.

What food pairs well with it?

It suits first and second courses alike — pasta with meat sauce, roasted or grilled poultry, and lighter red-meat dishes.

Style: Red
Grape Varieties: Nebbiolo
Price Range: $16-20; estimate based on comparable entry-level Langhe DOC reds; not currently confirmed distributed in Japan

Abrigo Fratelli's entry point into Nebbiolo, bottled under the broader Langhe DOC. A clear, fairly intense ruby red with brick-red reflections, it opens with balsamic violet aromas intertwined with redcurrant, raspberry and a hint of freshly cut grass. Dry and fresh on the palate, with raspberry, redcurrant and cherry fruit, notable minerality and velvety tannins that ease into a lingering balsamic finish.

Sommelier's Note

Don't mistake 'entry-level' for simple — this Langhe Nebbiolo delivers real minerality and length that punches above its accessible price point.

New to wine?

The most approachable, easy-drinking Nebbiolo in the range — fresh and fruit-forward rather than heavily tannic.
