A 100% Nebbiolo bottled under the broader Langhe DOC rather than Barolo, offering the same grape's floral, red-fruited character in a lighter, earlier-drinking style. It gives a more accessible, less tannic introduction to Nebbiolo than the estate's Barolo Villero, and is typically ready to drink much sooner after release.
Think of it as Barolo's more relaxed sibling — same DNA, none of the wait.
