About this wine
A pure Nebbiolo from the Langhe DOC, made in the same estate crus as the Barbaresco but designed for earlier drinking. Fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperature (around 27°C) with the délestage technique, then aged with a short 3-6 month passage in wood. Ruby red in color with intense, rich fruity and floral aromas and a dry, savory, harmonious palate.
The easiest, most affordable way to taste this producer's Nebbiolo character before stepping up to the Barbaresco.
Sommelier's Note
"A junior Nebbiolo that still tastes like it comes from Barbaresco soil — buy it by the case for weeknight drinking."
Food Pairings
Versatile with salumi, tomato-based pasta, grilled red meats, and mild aged cheeses.
When to drink it
