Nebbiolo
About this wine
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.
The gentlest way to try Nebbiolo from this estate — same grape as Barolo, friendlier tannins.
Sommelier's Note
"Think of it as Barolo's more relaxed sibling — same DNA, none of the wait."
Food Pairings
Versatile with roasted poultry, cured meats, tomato-based pasta, and mushroom dishes.
When to drink it
Weeknight dinners and casual gatherings where a lighter Nebbiolo is welcome.

バローロ・ヴィレッロ
Barolo Villero
RedNebbiolo
Pugnane's flagship Barolo DOCG, produced exclusively from Nebbiolo grown on the family's plot within the celebrated Villero cru in Castiglione Falletto. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel with natural yeasts, macerated on the skins for around 25 days with regular pump-overs, then aged for three years in large Slavonian oak botti followed by a minimum of six months in bottle before release. The result is a bright garnet-rimmed Barolo with aromas of dark berries, dried flowers and cocoa, dry and full-bodied with a harmonious tannic backbone.
バルベーラ・ダルバ
Barbera d'Alba
RedBarbera
A 100% Barbera from the estate's vineyards around Castiglione Falletto and Monforte d'Alba. Ruby red with garnet reflections, it is aged around one year in barrel followed by three months in bottle, giving a full-bodied, food-friendly red with Barbera's signature bright acidity balanced by a harmonious structure and good aging potential for the variety.
ドルチェット・ダルバ
Dolcetto d'Alba
RedDolcetto
A 100% Dolcetto from vines around Castiglione Falletto, showing an intense, fruity and lively perfume in a bright ruby-red glass. After vinification the wine rests six months in barrel and a further three months in bottle, arriving as a soft-tannin, everyday-drinking red typical of the Langhe.
ランゲ・シャルドネ
Langhe Chardonnay
WhiteChardonnay
The estate's sole white wine, a 100% Chardonnay bottled under Langhe DOC. Made from gently pressed grapes fermented at controlled low temperature to preserve floral and fruity aromas, it pours a pale straw yellow and is best served chilled at 10-12°C.
